KX36 exactly

Nope. DNA and fingerprints even if you were given an exact blueprint are difficult to replicate While technically possible it requires immense work and resources to do Then it has to match the usual extraction methods..it can't LOOK like it is synthetic And it is has to match your markers..all of then with no variations The sheer amount of effort it would require..for centuries even with breakthroughs Makes it the least effective way of framing someone for a crime Hell it's easier to alter tapes without a trace and show a murder and a confession that never happened DNA isn't simple

Too much weight on crime scene DNA? Unwilling to say guilty without DNA evidence? I think you have that backwards. If anything jury's determine guilt with emotion. I don't have any references on hand right now, but more often than not people look at the defendant and assume their guilt or innocence. We need for more forensic evidence. Witness testimony is absolute garbage. And don't get me started on the so-called quote "written confession" end quote. More often than not a written confession is the person trying to get you arrested pretending to be on your side by saying, "If you write an apology letter to the company they'll let you keep your job. But you have to say that You knew what you were doing was wrong and that you are sorry for it." What they don't tell you is that you're actually signing a written confession that they are later going to use in your prosecution.

It could trigger a murder if guys start sending their babies and children's DNA to check if the baby or child are his and not someone else. Even organized crime could start using this technology to police and investigate there own "cases". Even a small time drug dealer can create a DNA data base for their own seedy purposes. Data bases are really just modern forms of the dreaded list. Lists are the corner stone of any take over of any size. When governments or individuals start demanding lists its always no good for the innocent and the guilty!

Basically, the morale of the story is - DO NOT CRIME. I would stand by that.

Yeah it's scary. Anything that can be used to solve a crime (good) can be used for malicious intent.

Exactly. Touch DNA can be easily left on anything, even money. Then, that DNA has the ability to be transferred to another surface or object unintentionally. Scary thought.

@Natasel So poor families without access to genetic therapy will star racking up genetic diseases, and eventually won't be even able to afford insurance.

They would never *dare* to go against government stipulations and on morally dubious or outright immoral and illegal behavior! No stupid rich companies or people would ever *do* that. See Facebook, apple, google, and many others on how they spy on you, sell data to each other/third parties, and generally screw the people over. Besides, since the DNA database is public, Men\Women who don't want "sick" partners will just be able to see who has tendency for such things, and will just say "I don't like you" to any of them who tries to romance them. It won't be illegal, much like some southern Americans outright refuse to date non-whites. It might be *based* in racism, but the act of denying romance in on itself is not a crime. I also doubt employers would have trouble making up reasons not to accept the "sick".

@@cossaizy6309 Yes I do underestimate the power of legislation. I come from a country where it is a joke and money rules all. All previous governments have been corrupt to the core and live at the whim of the corporate powerhouses. I don't think any country is immune to the power of money. As for my "romance anecdote"; my point was, the poor will breed only "sick" people with "sick" people, creating a vicious circle, where the poor end up getting more and more deformed as generations go on, with none able to afford Gene therapy. So now poor people have an even shittier living standard, because they have to pay for a short term solution to all their genetic problems: Glasses for bad eyesight, cochlear implant a for poor hearing, enriched food and crude vehicles for weak bones, in vitro fertilization for incontinence, etc. To a point where the poor may not be able to afford to *live* not because of a lack of food nor water, but employment, education, resources, and money.

Agreed. reminds me of the movie Gattaca.

If it's the U.S. they would be violating the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. This was put in place back in 2008 to prevent insurance companies and employers from discriminating based on someone's genetic information.

Imagine being charged way more than your peers, given similar conditions, for no apparent reason. Imagine not having a say in that at all, and only being refused/denied service without any form of recourse or explanation. These are things that are out of your control; you may opt to e.g. choose which data you share with whatever app/service you use, but when it comes to DNA material, it's impossible to retain any semblance of privacy (AFAICT).

What is being done with your DNA, and what could be done with it? 1) It's already being sold, and catalogued to sell products. 2) It's already being used to disqualify people for premium insurance policies based on pre-existing genetic dispositions because of their family ancestry even if they are perfectly healthy, and show no genetic dispositions. 3) It is already being used to implicate innocent people for crimes. DNA is pretty accurate, but there is a possibility of a false positive, something that's not uncommon. 4) I could lead to unprecedented corruption. Since human DNA is being sold already without the consent of the originators of said DNA, it could be used for experiments, multiplied, and disseminated for many purposes without compensation to the originators. For now, it is unknown whether or not this is already taking place. 5) If the trend of how DNA is already treated today continues, discrimination, and corporate corruption based on ancestry could continue to the point that people won't be able to apply for certain jobs, or loans, people could charge higher prices for products & services based on DNA information...the possibilities are as endless as the money to be made from said information.

Sarang Saranghae Insurances and employers are not discriminating with DNA, they’re creating more effective medical background checks. If you have a family history of health problems and I’m the insurer here, I’m going to charge you more for the premium, because you’re automatically at a higher risk. Higher risk = higher cost. I would do likewise if I’m a business owner that’s in say manual labor and you have a family history of some sort heath issue that would cause a severe injury on the job. You do realize that there’s more to police work than just identifying DNA at the crime scene, right? The police still have to conduct interviews, gather other evidences, and if more evidence is found on you, you’ll still be tried and able to defend yourself and explain your alibi. Experiments on spit = unprecedented corruption? You’ll have to elaborate on that one

sheryce eastland That’s called tampering with evidence. It’s a felony, and is very likely to be tied with a charge of obstruction of justice and preventing the course of justice. As for them not always being correct, that’s why police gather more than just one kind of evidence. Due process exists for a reason.

@@LP-ui1uq Well... that's the problem

Man, literally everything is a pretty good idea if you overlook the inaccuracy and abuse so that doesn't really mean anything.

@@bialynia Guess that means I just found out where all the suffering in the world comes from.

Well to be fair...none of these companies have the right to give our information out...but they do anyway...but I see your point...

How hard would it be, then, for insurance companies to get? I’m fine with getting violent criminals off the streets. It’s the unforeseen domino effect that can also hurt regular, law-abiding people that I am concerned about.

how fitting that yesterday I had multiple 'DNA service ads' because of DNA Day (is that really a thing now?) ...

@@mkuti-childress3625 Yep heard that angle and its plausible.

That's True

@ If laws were reliably enforced then there would be no reason for concern. However, it is naive to believe laws will protect us from corporate predation. There are always loopholes that insurance companies will take to bypass those laws - already happens with people who have pre-existing conditions that are forced to pay outlandish rates. It's not a leap to move into more specific conditional charging. Discrimination of this sort - within the law, but only in the most technical sense - happens everyday now. For instance: the company I work for started giving health insurance "discounts" to employees that keep their blood work at certain levels. It's all voluntary of course or the company would never be allowed access to test results. But while they may call it a discount, I call it a penalization for anyone that does not fit within their narrow definition of 'healthy'. Several years back there was a company that fired employees for not keeping a certain fitness level. How long before companies flat out refuse to hire someone based on a DNA flaw, but bypass the law by claiming the person was simply not qualified? There are dozens of ways to work within the law and still get away with immoral practices.

Luvnot Videos Google and others have big ass lawsuits because of this law you know lmao

Stored on Amazon's cloud servers for everyone to see.

Nu Youkai As you should be!

Totally cool and normal health care system.

Wow. I'm actually happy I don't live there.

Wouldn't sharing your Dna be more beneficial than otherwise in that scenario?

@@clamdong1974 If you mean being a genetic relative, no. If you mean submitting a sample to be tested, maybe. I have no clue what they would find. Maybe my birth parents had a history of heart disease or something. I am also none too keen on having my DNA logged in a database somewhere. I don't even use the bio-metrics on phones or the work time clocks.

No you shouldnt... tell them youre adopted. I dont see the problem youre having. Just a little paperwork

One of the problems is if insurance companies are able to determine that you have a genetic predisposition to a particular illness, they can legally refuse you coverage (or perhaps charge you higher premiums and deductibles) on that basis.

@@CrazyLinguiniLegs ah okay, that makes sense. This would be the perfect time for some laws to be created, protecting everyone.

@@CrazyLinguiniLegs But if you're not American and you get free healthcare you don't even have to worry about that right?

f Forecast wrong.

But they’ll never be a commonality. This is like advanced computer programming. The average joe can’t do that even though it’s such a big part of life now

borukamante cool. It wasn’t a huge part of most people’s everyday lives, and so is a flaccid comparison.

It's a collaboration

@@k-mdn4905 We collaborated on these videos. Vox and The Verge are sister brands, both under Vox Media

I thought it was the same video, and was wondering why they reuploaded lol

They are both owned by the same peeps

...And they stole the content from a smaller channel called 'The Atlantic' their youtube video is called "You Should Be Worried About Your DNA Privacy"

Not really. Why would you change that much DNA in the germline? Predicting that your children will be criminals? And changing DNA of every cell of an adult is not that easy. So, at least that doesn't happen in near future.

@@user255 truth. Some people have that "humans shouldn't play God" sickness from Hollywood movies.

@@sickleslash6664 God doesn't exist so , that affirmation it self is false. If gene editing is a good option for the development of society and for our evolution then it will be used. CRISPR is already here and in the future it will only get better and stronger.

@Iceboat Like I said Science doesn't care about what you or I think. Is a process of self learning and the evolution of understanding of our surroundings. If gene editing is the best and most optimal solution for our society and future then it will be used. Evolution is a long and slow process, using tech to speed it up, would be a wise and smart decision. Considering the fact, AI, will be possible, we will sooner or later do it. If we stay behind, we will be lost and that will be the doom of our species. We are in a race against time of a cataclysmic event and our evolution is the only thing that goes against it, and we will defeat such problems as long we live and prosper to be better everyday.

Same. I have so many cousins that I don't need any third ones.

Exactly. If they want they can just walk up to you and literally get your DNA too. They could break into your house where they can get DNA samples galore.

It is illegal for a physician to share your medical information without your consent. If this were to happen and incriminate you, your lawyer would have the best day of his life. The evidence wouldn’t stand in court, and you would have a nice lawsuit against your doctor. As far as the other comment in this thread (too lazy to reply to both). They don’t need to break into your house. The straw you used at dinner? Once it leaves your table it’s free game. Anyone can take it and have your DNA from your saliva. Simple as that.

@@brookeb2227 Laws are broken every day at every level of society.

True. But paradoxically, more people would think twice if that was the case.

What then stops the government from using the DNA to force certain people to pay more for a system that eventually will go bankrupt???????????..............moron!

@Natasel Yes. Why not? If we all pay fairly and proportionally to what we have, why not? It's called being a solidary decent human being.

@Natasel 🤦🏼‍♂️ Really constructive sarcasm there... Do you know what's a state? The Greek polis? Cicero's Republic? Anything?
