The Pros And Cons Of The DNA Profiling

DNA Profiling antithetical to right to privacy.

INTRODUCTION

The ambit of privacy can get to the extent of your saliva, spit or anything from which your DNA can be traced down. These mentioned things are unintentionally thrown by us and definitely abandoned by us without having any idea of its further use.
