Kurzbeschreibung: A distinguished panel will be presenting their views on potential uses and abuses of DNA databases. We will then open the floor to hear your views. Will databanks of DNA samples live up to their promise of helping us cure diseases and reduce crime? From the genetic profiling of newborns, to police databases and large scale genetic research studies, are our privacy and civil liberties potentially under threat or have the potential risks been hyped?
