DNA profiling

Advantages

Helps to solve crimes

Could help fight terrorism
could provide information on health problems so could be used to suggest lifestyle

Disadvantages

Innocent people could be convicted of crimes they haven't done.
Insurance companies could look at them. They could charge higher rates for people with increased risk of disease.

Evaluation

Its a good thing and there should be a national database. But it the information should only be made available to the individual and certain organisation such as hospitals and police forces
