Proposed DNA bill
Salient features

databanks, approve the methods of collection and analysis of DNA-technologies
-
-
-
-
-
-
Requirements
-
-
A trusted chain of custody of samples, else wil lead to false matches
-
-
Concerns
need to restrict DNA profiling, so that it uses
only non-coding DNA which is a common International Standard
-
-
Cost quoted isnt practically enough, from experience of UK
-
Why in news?
Union Cabinet cleared bill that allows law enforcement agencies to collect
DNA samples, create "DNA profiles" and spec al databanks for Forensic Criminal
lnvestigations.
Way forward
Important safeguards are missing, cost-benefit analysis is also lacking.
