BongoBob Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 As long as there is humanity, there will be prejudice. And OT, I couldn't help but chuckle at this... "But some experts argue that NDNAD's size and power mean it poses a serious threat to civil liberties." I'm such an immature thinking bastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas77 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 As far as collecting DNA samples to solve crimes are concerned, I have no problems. If the figures reported are correct then DNA profiling obviously has a highly beneficial effect upon suspect identification and conviction rates and combined this can only be a good thing. But I'm not so sure about the retention of physical samples upon which genetic research is carried out. The fact that the government can know things about your biological makeup that you yourself are unaware of is somewhat unsettling. I agree that this does invade civil liberties. So yay to DNA profiling, nay to clandestine genetic research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
