          Abstract

          Apesar de bancos de perfis genéticos para persecução penal serem estabelecidos há cerca de vinte anos nos EUA e no Reino Unido, no Brasil, somente após a Lei nº 12.654/2012 passou-se a admitir tal realidade. Indiscutivelmente, esta ferramenta contribui para a resolução de crimes. Entretanto, há muitas contradições legais e bioéticas sobre a coleta, a estocagem e a utilização de dados genéticos, pois há a possibilidade de uma aplicação acrítica dos avanços biotecnológicos. Propõe-se apresentar o desenvolvimento histórico dos bancos de perfis genéticos, além de discutir as principais contradições legais e bioéticas sobre o uso da informação genética com fins criminais. Concluindo que o armazenamento destas informações deve sempre estar submetido à legislação específica, desenvolvida e aplicada com proporcionalidade. Além disso, tais normatizações devem ser calçadas por uma discussão bioética firmada na precaução e na responsabilidade.

          Translated abstract

          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.

            Forensic genetics and ethical, legal and social implications beyond the clinic.

            Data on human genetic variation help scientists to understand human origins, susceptibility to illness and genetic causes of disease. Destructive episodes in the history of genetic research make it crucial to consider the ethical and social implications of research in genomics, especially human genetic variation. The analysis of ethical, legal and social implications should be integrated into genetic research, with the participation of scientists who can anticipate and monitor the full range of possible applications of the research from the earliest stages. The design and implementation of research directs the ways in which its results can be used, and data and technology, rather than ethical considerations or social needs, drive the use of science in unintended ways. Here we examine forensic genetics and argue that all geneticists should anticipate the ethical and social issues associated with nonmedical applications of genetic variation research.
