The facts of the case:

This week's case concerns DNA testing in the United States. This method of testing is popular in crime labs, but its accuracy is debatable. Should the government implement it on a broader scale, and what are the implications if they do?

My conclusions:

I concluded that the U.S. government should wait to implement any kind of DNA testing until the method is nearly 100% reliable. Even once the testing is perfected, the government should still wait to use it on a broad scale if the public is not approving of it.

Future environment:

In the future, technology will dictate even more aspects of our lives. The criminal justice system will have come up with newer technology and it is likely that DNA testing will be improved to the point that it is used much more commonly than today.

Future scenario:

In the future I described above, the world will be laden with cutting-edge technology. Because DNA testing is already prominent across the United States, it would be improved greatly by the future world, and would likely be the most common method for identifying criminals as it would be more acceptable to a future society.
