8. Concluding Remarks
- Anticipatory capacity and ethics as lived practice are vital components of the work of forensic scientists. This implies the need to be able to anticipate how technology use will impact individuals and groups of people potentially drawn into investigations, as well as wider community relationships, and criminal justice more generally. Our first key point is that forensic geneticists need to engage with ethics in all stages of the sample and data life cycle.
- There is an urgent need to address the power of forensic (epi)genetics to cast suspicion over a wide range of individuals and communities who may share visual characteristics, common family ancestry, and/or lifestyle habits. This poses several issues that forensic genetics should be aware of when developing and/or applying such technologies, as we move towards a society where individuals and even communities are increasingly called upon to prove their innocence. Our second key point, therefore, is that forensic geneticists need to be aware of the active role that their research and technologies can play in either strengthening or threatening such fundamental legal principles as the presumption of innocence, equality of arms, and the legal burden of proof.
- Our third key point is that clarity and open communication about real-world capacities of technologies such as FDP, FGG, and FEpi (as well as BGA which is not discussed in depth in this paper) must be at the core of discussions around their use. Their reliability and effectiveness outside the laboratory, and their utility for specific cases, must be reflected upon, and openly and clearly articulated to users and commissioners of such technologies in order to build legitimacy, including public trust, responsible innovation and practice, and accountability.
