The first option, "the use of the personal information in a way that would discriminate against individuals based on confidential information such as potential genetic diseases," would be considered a "con" to having national DNA databases. It highlights the potential for misuse of sensitive genetic information, leading to discrimination or privacy concerns.
The other options, such as "the irrefutable evidence of a person's unique DNA," "the gigantic size of the database," and "the solving of cold cases," do not represent cons. Instead, they refer to the evidential strength, logistical challenges, and potential benefits associated with national DNA databases, respectively.

The correct response is **Biogenetic engineering**. This term specifically refers to the deliberate manipulation of an organism's genes to enhance certain traits or characteristics.
Informatics generally refers to the use of information technology to manage and analyze data, DNA analysis involves examining genetic material, and genomics is the study of genomes, which can include aspects of gene manipulation but is broader in scope.

The correct response is **life-threatening accidents**.
The Human Genome Database contains information related to genetic sequences and variations, which can help in understanding genetic diseases and the potential for developing genetic conditions, as well as providing information that could assist in identifying individuals (such as in criminal cases). However, it would not provide information about the circumstances involving life-threatening accidents, as accidents are influenced by factors that are not exclusively genetic.

The most appropriate response is **individuals in need of specific gene therapy who exhibit symptoms similar to a known genetic disease**.
While genetic testing can provide valuable information for all expectant parents, particularly in terms of understanding potential hereditary conditions, the most immediate need for genetic testing would be for individuals who are symptomatic and may benefit from understanding their genetic condition for targeted gene therapies.
Members of a family with a known genetic disease might also benefit from testing, but the option that most directly ties to the use of genetic testing for intervention is the third option. The option "anybody who is sick" is too broad and not specific to genetic diseases.

The most appropriate response is **parents seeking disease screening for their newborn**.
Genetic counseling is crucial in this context as it helps parents understand the implications of genetic tests, potential risks, and the available options if a genetic condition is detected. It ensures that parents can make informed decisions based on the results of DNA analysis.
While genetic counseling can also be relevant for health insurance applicants or individuals in other categories, its association with screening newborns is particularly important due to the sensitivity of the information and the potential impact on the child's health and future.

**True.**
The accessibility of genetic testing to the public has indeed increased due to advancements in technology and the emergence of independent online laboratories. These labs often provide more affordable options compared to traditional testing methods, and improvements in testing accuracy have come from advancements in genetic sequencing technologies. This has made genetic testing more widely available and accessible to a larger segment of the population.
