Cripes! Finger printed at birth, can't wait for big brother to get ahold of those.
"Barcodes 'stop baby mix-ups'
Barcodes containing newborn babies' fingerprints are being used to prevent mix-ups over identification.
The system has been introduced in the maternity unit of La Zarzuela Hospital in Madrid, Spain.
As soon as babies are born their fingerprints, and those of their mothers, are stored in electronic barcodes which mother and baby wear on their wrists. "
