Conversation Starter! Please Comment!!-Criminal DNA Testing

One of today’s top stories is that in the near future DNA tests could be used to determine genetic pre-dispositions to crime.

In other cases, defense attorneys are asking judges to admit test results suggesting that their clients have a genetic predisposition for violent or impulsive behavior, adding a potential “DNA defense” to a legal system that until now has held virtually everyone accountable for their actions except the insane or mentally retarded.

I have a major problem with this idea. Chances are that this pre-disposition crap will be used to either criminalized people before they do anything ( like racial profiling) or used as a scapegoat for sick criminals ( sex offenders violent folks etc) and can serve as an excuse for not attempting to reform or rehab fallen citizens.

What do you think about the DNA Testing?
