Answer:

why we should

Every American should give their DNA sample so then its easier, takes less time and so police can move on to other more important cases. Taking samples of DNA from all Americans would dramatically improve law enforcement's efficiency. Thousands of people have been convicted because suspects can be searched out across space and time based on DNA evidence. Hundreds of innocent people have also been freed, often after years behind bars, sometimes just short of the death penalty.

Why we shouldnt

Taking every single american dna will take a long time and will take alot of money and resources. And sometimes your genetic information could be sold to the highest bidder. And sometimes The results are often inaccurate.

i couldnt find more reasons why we shouldnt so you should go over why we should section more

Answer:

(Bad idea)

Many people are against the idea of extending the DNA database because of the potential threat it has to our privacy. While a DNA profile provides very little information about someone, their DNA sample contains information that can reveal their ethnicity or how susceptible they are to disease. The risk of data abuse is therefore potentially high.

(Good idea)

A DNA database of everyone may make it easier for police to identify missing people and unidentified remains.

I found a good article that is helpful for your paragraph. It supports both sides. It wont let me link so just type in :

"Is it ethical to have a national DNA database?" and it should be the first article that pops up
