Answer: a violation of privacy

Step-by-step explanation:

A person's DNA cannot be changed as it is their genetic information. It is therefore their most private information and when it is utilized in forensic DNA testing, it runs the risk of invading a person's privacy.

Forensic DNA testing works by comparing the subject DNA with a DNA database. Using this database means going through the DNA of millions of people without their consent.

This is their most private information and it is being stored and accessed without permission. Critics say that this is a violation of privacy and many studies have showed that this is a major concern
