Is preventing the next rape/murder not worth it?
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoI fail to see the preventative aspect. The system really isn't set up for that.
- cfcosta 5y agoBy indexing rape victims DNA?
- DoreenMichele 5y agoUsing a rape victim's DNA from her rape kit without consent etc is much more likely to promote rape than to prevent it.
- ajkdhcb2 5y agoNo, it is not worth it, and in the long-run may not have the desired effect. For me, after seeing this, I would possibly not report being raped. Arresting the rapist isn't going to directly help me (depending on the situation), so by selfish game theory I shouldn't risk compromising my DNA
- tcmart14 5y agoIts a letter of the law versus spirit of the law. I am of the later. Investigating one crime does not inherently give permission to use data from that crime to start trying to solve other crimes unless they are directly connected, i.e. tying a bunch of murders together with similarities because it may be a serial killer instead of one off murders.
- WalterBright 5y agoGiven that people shed plenty of blood for our liberties, no, preventing all rapes/murder is not worth surrendering all our liberties. I.e. I'm not willing to trade away all my liberty for security. A certain level of background crime is acceptable. Just like I accept a certain level of risk every time I get in a car, eat a steak, go jogging, etc.
