[news] Be afraid of the future

Good idea. Personally I`m for taking DNA samples already from birth; from everyone. If you have some DNA from the spot in question you automatically know who the criminal is.

Gelatinous Cube]I personally don't think there is anything wrong with taking DNA samples from criminals. It falls under the same reasons we take Fingerprints; only it's more accurate. I would have no problem using DNA the same way we use Fingerprints.

Exactly, though it`s much is easier to find someones DNA+ plus your DNA tells you with good accuracy what kind of illness you will have in your life, cancer for example. And other very personal details that fingerprints cannot tell you.

This kind of stuff always sounds creepy to me. There's no decent way of knowing what these samples will be used for, and there's always the risk of such DNA profiles being used by third parties. If I'm convicted of a crime a government's got the right to record my profile, since it's then a matter of public safety; until that happens they should mind their own business.

There`s a risk for everything. But if only police gets access to this database and only after crimes I think your data is relatively safe.
