DNA Databases are evil!! We are for this argument.

We are against the actual motion which is that:

“A Comprehensive National DNA Database should be set up.”

Sir Alec Jeffreys, the British inventor of the modern forensic ‘DNAfingerprinting’ technique emphasised that he would feel “very uncomfortable”if such a national database were run by the police

DNA Database You Say??

“But what about my PRIVACY?”, say…. Umm…. Officials. Yes…

Officials.

White Group Rules!!

Privacy you say??

“But what about my…. Uh…..DNA Database…?”, say… No-one!... Yes that’s it. No-one! Muahahahahahaaaaa!!!

Green Group Sucks!!

• Can we trust whoever is in control of the database to use the information the way it was intended to be used?

• This slide looked very bland and boring with just one point on it so I decided to add this completely meaningless point to keep it company and to make it look like I did lots of work. Yay!

• What a shitty colour scheme. • That last slide was quite boring don’t you agree?

Only the first point is relevant.

Brendan Tangney Rocks!!

What kind of colour is green anyway?

• The establishment and maintenance of a secure, high standard DNA retention system would require significant input of resources by the state. In light of the limited resources available to law enforcement agencies in the state, the value of using such resources on a DNA database as oppose to in other areas of crime detection and prosecution must be questioned in light of the volume of perpetrators of crime likely to be detected through reliance on a database.- Irish Council for Civil Liberties. www.iccl.ie

Summary Summary

Due to previously mentioned stuff, a DNA Database would be too hard to implement.

Certain privacy and civil rights issues are raised. Why do we need it?

o It wont live up to people’s expectations.

o We will become over-dependant on the system

We love tequila! Pulp Fiction Rocks!! Therefore, by implication, the green team sucks.
