In my Composition 2 class at University of South Florida, I am researching the ethics of DNA banking and its effects on the world and the society. I talked about the benefits of DNA Banking in the forensics department. They can easily find a criminal faster and more conveniently using DNA banking to find any traces of DNA the criminal might have left and looking for its match in a DNA bank. Another use of DNA banking- or DNA profiling- is to find a missing person or reunites a family that was split apart. It is a good way of tracing DNA of blood relatives in order to make family connections, which usually results in a family coming together. Also, we can use this new technology to identify bodies that were left from a disaster such as an explosion or a fire. They are usually so damaged you cannot identify them. With DNA banking you can now use their hair of skin to find out who they are. All of these advantages to DNA banking are logically and ethically correct and make the world a better place. Even if we find a disadvantage every now and then such as DNA banking being a violation of privacy or finding a person who does not want to be found, these disadvantages are only small reasons in an large field of possibilities. They can be adjusted to fit what the people find ethical and that would eventually benefit everyone and make the world a better place.
