** Evaluate the effectiveness of DNA technology. ** LAUREN SMITH: DNA technology is moderately effective having aspects that are both successful and unsuccessful. DNA technology is used extensively in criminal cases to collect evidence and to re-examine past cases. However this new form of technology has also raised concerns about legal, ethical and moral debates especially about embryos and their status. One advantage of gene technology is that is easily accessible when trying to obtain evidence about people who were at the scene of a crime. This leads to a great knowledge within that case and so more chance of a conviction. On the other hand however gene technology does not always provide just outcomes for an individual as their DNA may be at a crime scene but this does not prove they committed the crime making this form of technology somewhat unreliable within cases.As well as this gene technology is extremely costly and time ineffective which can reduce the availability of it. Overall it can be seen that gene technology is only moderately effective.

RHIANNON HOWELL: DNA technology can be highly effective when access is put into consideration. This is due to the easy accessibility of DNA, which can lead to a variety of evidence being presented in court which may lead to the outcome of a case. Although there are ineffective aspects to DNA technology. One of these being reliability. This is due to the large chances of DNA technology solely proving an individuals presence at a crime scene, yet cannot necessarily prove that the crime was committed by this person. This then reduces the delivery of just outcomes to the those accused of a crime.
