Vietnam to collect biometrics - even DNA - for new ID cards

The law allows recording of blood type among the DNA-related information that will be contained in a national database to be shared across agencies "to perform their functions and tasks."

That sounds even worse than what the title states.

Vietnam’s future identity cards will incorporate the functions of health insurance cards, social insurance books, driver's licenses, birth certificates, and marriage certificates, as defined by the amendment.

Imagine a single data breach eventually exposing all this information at once. What do you even do in this case, just assume a new identity?
