| Silversides,
A. (2001). Lessons Canada learned in |
Swissair
crash being applied in New York Canadian Medical
Association Journal, 165(9), 1243. Retrieved
July 2, 2002, from ProQuest database.
- After
Swissair Flight 111 crashed into Peggy's Cove Sept.
2, 1998, killing everyone on board, the Ontario
coroner spent 3 weeks in Halifax, working with Nova
Scotia medical examiner John Butt in the
most massive body-identification job in Canadian
history.
- Butt,
who dealt extensively with traumatized families
in the wake of the Swissair crash, suggested another
lesson from that disaster: establish a protocol
for dealing with human remains - the extent and
type of DNA testing that will be conducted
and what will be done with the remains - and then
publicize it.

- This
paper examines an inflammatory subject - 'DNA typing'
(or 'DNA fingerprinting' as it is popularly called)
- to show how credible scientific knowledge is produced
through the systematic erasure of uncertainty and
random variation.

- Although
non-invasive methods of DNA gathering are a boon
in terms of comfort, they carry the disadvantage
of reduced efficiency. Some research companies,
however, have focused their efforts on improving
the efficiency while retaining the ease of collection.

emphasis is being placed on the expedition of the
analysis of biological material connected with rapes
and other violent crimes.
