Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The purpose of DNA Technology (Use and Application) Regulation Bill is to regulate the use of DNA information for establishing the identity of people. An index is sought to be created and maintained by national and regional DNA banks. The indices are meant for criminals, undertrials, missing and deceased persons. One of the common applications of DNA technology is to create profiles of people using nails, hair, swabs and so on. Bodily types will be compared, categorised, homogenised and excluded, along with the inferences drawn from these divisions.These profiles are then meant to guide law enforcement in investigations. Although the technology has been used (without proper regulation) under criminal procedure codes, the bill will institutionalise its use within the justice system with the maintenance of databases. Experts believe that the bill leaves ample room for misuse, and that its consent provisions are not strong. A more fundamental concern is that DNA technology for identification derives from antiquated and discredited methods. Scientists confirm that much of DNA analysis involving statistical modelling algorithms embed judgements of the people behind the creation of these tools. This means that DNA samples collected are used to statistically create composites of types of people - racial, ethnic and so on. These methods, in their composition of types, in the inferences drawn, and the mathematical fact of computing averages to arrive at the estimates of types, have the scope for giving a scientific varnish to existing social and cultural bias.Another question is that of openness. Already, denial of access to DNA laboratory records is affecting the rights of individuals in defending themselves, as highlighted by the work of Project 39A. With a new system of indexing DNA profiles of undertrials, criminals, missing and deceased persons, it becomes all the more important to think about the openness of the algorithmic techniques used in these methods. With no shield in the form of data protection and privacy laws, or the cross-dialogue with anti-discrimination laws like SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act, we are potentially moving towards automating, invisibilising and legitimising already existing biases in society, all in the name of technology.[Extracted with edits and revisions from, The DNA bill will cement a disturbing link between tech and policing, Hindustan Times]Q.Can the bill, as it stands, be utilized to gather DNA profiles from over a thousand individuals solely on the grounds of suspicion, such as in the case of a blind crime or a riot involving a large number of people?a)No, it applies exclusively to a limited subset of individuals accused in any given scenario.b)Yes, in its present state, it can be employed to compile DNA profiles of anyone deemed a suspect.c)No, the bill does not apply to situations involving blind crimes or riots.d)Both option 1 and option 3 are correct.Correct answer is option 'B'.
