Human Genetics

* Introduction:
In an increasing globalized world, the impact of scientific discoveries and application quickly transcends national boundaries through the rapid exchange of products and ideas. All scholars predict that Genetics will be the foremost science of the 21st century. Technologies and resources generated by the human genome project and other genomics research are already having a major impact on research across the life sciences. By genetic science the legislators and judges easily understand criminal behavior. They also predict that for what reason the guilty person has occurred such occurrences. Genetic tests will flood the courtroom with evidence purporting to support medical and non-medical cases alike. So the legislators and judges of different countries should be ready to encounter the future challenges ensuring from genetic development. How will law respond to new discoveries in genetics, including behavioral genetic determinism and to what extent the relation between genetics and behavior affect legal doctrines related to privacy, autonomy, nondiscrimination and societal opportunities? What will happen to concepts of free will and responsibilities in an era of genetic causation? Is a predisposition for colon cancer a legally justified reason to bar a person from mortgage insurance?
The success of genetics in understanding human disease suggests that it could be a powerful tool in the scientific investigation of human behavior, including criminal behavior. This paper describes the impact of genetics on human behavior, specifically criminal behavior. If any individual commits crime due to genetically inherited traits, how his responsibility will be determined, how he will be punished, or should he be punished, or should they be treated like insane persons without having any criminal responsibility? Criminal justice system should be reorganized for dealing with emerging genetics and impact on criminal activities. * Concept of Human Genetics:
