Advances in DNA technology and the discovery of DNA polymorphisms have opened up the possibility of creating data bases of individuals' DNA for criminal investigation purposes. In many European countries laws are being drawn up or have been passed to regulate such data bases. In Spain theres is a need for an urgent ethical and legal debate on ther appropriateness. The article is divided into two parts. In the first, the authors discuss the technical principles underlying these data bases. In the second, they set out their legal and ethical views on regulation in Spain.
DNA技术的进步以及DNA多态性的发现为出于刑事调查目的创建个人DNA数据库提供了可能性。在许多欧洲国家，相关法律正在起草或已经通过，以规范此类数据库。在西班牙，迫切需要就其适当性展开伦理和法律辩论。本文分为两部分。第一部分，作者讨论了这些数据库的技术原理。第二部分，他们阐述了对西班牙相关监管的法律和伦理观点。
