[quote:Anonymous Coward 1507912:MV8yMTM0MDYwXzM2MDI4MTcxX0JCQzFDMjI5] I can find a few good uses for it in the medical field. When a persons face needs reconstruction and there are not guide for the physician, this could help putting the right face on a person. Finding a person in forensics and the body is decomposed it would help in identifying the person plus finding a murder. I can see another use for it masks of people that are so like them, that someone could do a crime and they could get arrested. Then there is the stealing of a persons life by surgery to be made to look like them. Now you have to wonder how far the could go! [/quote]

Artist Reconstructs Faces Using DNA Left Behind in NYC and a 3D Printer
Seeing a hair in the crack of a piece of glass, spurred Dewey-Hagborg to think of who its owner might be, what they look like, what their personality is like, etc. With these questions her “Stranger Visions” project was born.
To make her point regarding genetic surveillance, Dewey-Hagborg has been using currently available technology, which she wrote allows her to extract DNA from hair, locate certain traits and create what a person’s face might look like.
She has taken DNA samples found on the streets of New York City from a cigarette butts and gum and has been able to determine gender, ethnicity (based on the mother’s side) and eye color. Take a look at the face’s she has been able to reconstruct based on her DNA analysis here.
