- Summary:
- Told by over twenty experts in genetics, law, and social science, 'Silent Witness' relates the history and development of modern DNA forensics and its application in both the courtroom and humanitarian settings. By providing a critical inquiry into modern forensic DNA science, it underscores the need to balance the benefits of using forensic genetics to solve crime with the democratic right to safeguard against privacy invasion, and raises the question of what it means to be an autonomous individual in a world where the most personal elements of one's identity are now publicly accessible.
