DNA Finger Printing

The good side of DNA Fingerprinting to human healthcare research and in the justice system is that DNA can provide evidence of a hidden privacy. In the healthcare, the good side of DNA fingerprints is used to suspect the biological evidence of blood. DNA fingerprinting helps to know about the background of the family, for instance, to know who parents or siblings are. The good side of DNA in the justice system is used in solving crimes and establishing paternity in custody in addition to supporting the litigation of an innocent child. By the DNA fingerprint, the real proof of crime can be detected easily hence reducing the number of wrongful convictions, for this reason, DNA fingerprinting as a good side in the justice system. Basing on the bad side of DNA fingerprinting to human healthcare research, unfair practices of using medical policies is dictated and the denial of health insurance on the basis which makes the affected person suffer many diseases. Supporting the bad side of DNA fingerprinting in the justice system, loss of privacy may occur since the result can be shared with other organization for the research hence violating the privacy of a citizen and of civil liberties (Biotechnology Industry Organization, 2003).

With this technology of DNA fingerprinting, medicine and agriculture have to take the advantages. For the possible case of medicine benefiting using this technology is that medicine has detected paternity dispute may determine the custody, therefore, supporting dispute of a child in paternity cases. Agriculture is benefiting from the use of this technology because an agriculturist is achieving something in making insecticide and pesticide which are helping to protect the plants against insects and pest as well as helping the plants to grow quickly (Amna, 2011).
