Question 11 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which are bioethical concerns about DNA databanks? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Storing information about someone’s DNA may be an invasion of privacy.
B
Databanks may change the way police work.
C
Taking information about someone’s DNA without their permission is a civil rights issue.
D
Information from databanks can be retrieved by anyone.

Explanation

DNA contains highly personal information, so storing it can raise privacy concerns. Collecting a person’s DNA information without permission can also raise civil rights concerns. A databank changing police work is not itself a bioethical concern, and access is not necessarily available to anyone.
