DNA Containment in the U.K. Database
Science and Environment Area of Impact
STAKE HOLDERS
UK Citizens Citizens that had exposed their biological
data (DNA) with the scientists in one way or another to be kept in the grand DNA database held by secure authority such as the police.
Citizens don't get consent of their DNA information being shared to random research parties or if to be accessed for immoral purpose.
If the authority in charge are truly trustworthy then the data after all might be used for the better of the security of the citizens to only use this data when
trouble and suspected people's files become matched and reopened.
However nothing can promise us that this database will stay only
within their influence or containment since now they would not have to make privacy policies
on this data as they legally obtained full rights to this data
• This leads to breach of privacy and rights, and endangering them in modern science such as in DNA modifications and human cloning
A-Police/Scientists , B-Government/Authority.
A- Knowing this was going to provoke much unease and concern regarding this meaningless way of keeping a large database of every citizen, it was a big risk to take for the sake of the country's safety from criminal activity.
B- Takes over database to find matches and delivers their purpose over the conviction of the suspected civilians for their crimes

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM
Information Systems
Wider systems of people, data and activities, using the principle of
linked databases, that effectively gather, process, store and manipulate organizations'
information.
Linking Databases- Relational Databases - preventing data
duplication and promoting data redundancy.
Query Operations: Common Operators and Logical
Operators to help refine data search for DN A and using
matching processes for finding criminality in the country
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM
Collection of the Citizen Profile Data
Names Family Profile Data DNA Information Addresses
Matching using Query processes to find suspecting individuals in crime
SOCIAL/ETHICAL ISSUES
DNA Containment in an Information System Breach of Privacy
Holding DNA for no reason is seen as discriminatory
Access Concerns Privacy Protection from Invasion of Security
Which the government is responsible for, in this case it is seen by many that this is not what is being done.Court in England ruled out this
violates:
The right to respect for private and family life - of the European Convention on Human Rights.
"The principle that we need to follow is simple - when charges are dropped suspect samples are destroyed. No charge, no DNA."
SOLUTION
It is not fair to have every innocent citizen's DNA to be kept along with the criminal suspects
If a crime is done, it would justify the keeping of this particular person's record in the database For adults with clean past records it is very unlikely
for that particular individual to carry on dangerous and serious acts of crime.
Otherwise this principle should be followed "when charges are dropped suspect samples are destroyed. No charge, no DNA"
This would help retain people's rights in privacy and prevent any sort of potential invasion or unrightfully access to their DNA as part
of the database in monitoring from the authority.

SOLUTION
But of course this would not hold matches to any spontaneous individuals who go to crime overnight and would make it harder for police officers to track down ordinary citizens if a crime was committed by them.
However this is the expense of having their privacy rights protected, and as a society living
through the information age we cannot but tolerate minor exception s and scenarios to come
from doing so.
