DNA databases

FBI adds uses for its DNA datbase

This article talks about the pros of DNA databases. Not only does it talk about helping solve crimes, and helps to put criminals behind bars, it also talks about being able to find missing persons and unidentified victims. Even though it hasn't found many unidentified victims, a few is better than none. This article is pretty useful since it gives me one more thing to think about as I evaluate DNA databases. It says that the FBI is doing all they can to make DNA databases more useful. This source is pretty objective, and it tells you the pros of DNA databases, but it should also tell you the cons. It's a little one sided. You are able to see how people are trying to conform the use of DNA databases to a good thing by adding more things that it can do.
