Should a national identification system in which each American's DNA pattern is registered be established?
             Has the U.S. come to the point where we have to devise a national identification system in which everyone's DNA pattern is registered in a network of computers? I believe so, and the process of using a person's DNA pattern for a national identification system is a very good idea. This identification system could be used to offer new jobs, put criminals - who are guilty - in jail, and also provide people with medical information about themselves and their health.
             I believe using a person's DNA pattern for a national identification system is a very good idea, even better than fingerprints. Although every human being is 99.9% identical, that .1% left makes a big difference between two people. By using a genome of 3 billion letters – your DNA chain – that tenth (.1%) is actually three million separate links in your DNA chain. That is how the difference between two people is figured out. I know it's a difficult process, but it can be very useful in our society today, and that is why I think it is a very good idea.
             Although the identification system is a very complicated matter it could open up doors for job opportunities, for people that qualify. People that are qualified for the job might have to be: computer literate, able to work long hours, reliable and trustworthy to run sophisticated and expensive machinery, and have a background of knowledge of the DNA chain and patterns among it. Also, probably being a government funded job, benefits would be available, and the pay wouldn't be too bad either.
             Fingerprints are very useful in burglary and property crimes, but what about a rape case? Fingerprints wouldn't be very useful in a rape case, so DNA testing would have to be done on semen samples found at the scene of a crime. Fingerprint variations are spectacular and were con
