GRAZINOLI GARRIDO, Rodrigo e LEAL RODRIGUES, Eduardo. The Brazilian Genetic Profile Database Three Years after Law No. 12,654. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2015, n.35, pp.94-107. ISSN 1886-5887. https://dx.doi.org/10.1344/rbd2015.35.14284.
Although genetic profiles database for criminal prosecution are established for some twenty years in the U.S. and the UK, in Brazil, only after the Law No. 12,654/2012 happened to admit this reality. Undoubtedly, this tool helps to solve crimes. However, there are many legal and bioethical contradictions about the collection, storage and use of genetic data, because there is the possibility of an uncritical application of biotechnological advances. It was proposed to present the historical development of genetic profiles database, in addition to discussing major legal and bioethical contradictions about the use of genetic information for criminal purposes. Concluding that the storage of this information must always be subjected to specific legislation developed and applied with proportionality. Moreover, such norms shall be cushioned by a bioethical discussion grounded in caution and responsibility.
