We human beings are born to be unique. Although twins of similar
features and sexes are hard to be differentiated, there is still one
big difference if you look enough underneath all the layers of organs.
The answer lies in the genetic markers in our DNA.
In this case, we can even reconstruct genetic profile of someone
distant in your family tree or missing family member as gene
inheritance happens in family like from grandparents to parents and so
forth.
This identification method that is now being used for situations that,
due to decomposition and the loss of medical records, have exhausted
all other available identification methods.
For example, the World Trade Center 2001 destruction, Hurricane
Katrina 2005 and South East Asia tsunami chaos 2004 which resulted in
thousands of death which may need few days or weeks to retrieve the
bodies and to be brought back to the morgue as weather, lack of
humanitarian volunteers, badly affected location and also lack of
technology could improve situation....
