Abstract

Nowadays, criminal is an essential social issue which needs to be solved. In order to increase the efficiency and accuracy on those crimes, more and more countries began to use DNA database as a method to figure out the criminals or their features. However, the biggest problem of DNA database is losing the privacy since all the information of a person can be showed through DNA sequence. During this essay, the methodology of comparison and data collection was used to figure out the view of different ethical theories, including Deontology, Aristotle theory, Consequentialism and Confucianism on DNA database. Overall, most theories suggested that DNA database should be justifiable, even though some improvements are necessary. The government should figure out a system which no one can stole the information from the DNA database.
