Researchers could provide this particular information to doctors. In this way doctors could now treat their patients and give them advice on preventing the disease. Parents who have inherited genetic disorders could also turn to genetic counselors who could conduct a genetic fingerprinting process and ask how to care for their affected child. If a genetic disease was detected at an early age, it can be easily treated and cured. While using DNA fingerprinting has some advantages, it also has some drawbacks. One disadvantage of DNA fingerprinting is the possibility of error. If the person analyzing the DNA fingerprint is not knowledgeable enough or has made some mistake in the process, the result of the experiment will not be, as they say, “100% accurate”. Some scientists find it difficult to analyze DNA fingerprints because they are smaller than those visible to the naked eye. When this happens, it creates a ripple effect to other ethical principles
