Abstract

The rapid advancement of scientific technology has brought significant changes to various fields, including the legal system, particularly in criminal justice. Innovative scientific techniques, such as brain mapping for crime detection and investigation, have become part of established laws. However, amidst these technological advancements, it is crucial to remember our human nature, as creations of a higher power, rather than merely becoming robotic in our approach. One essential aspect to consider is the sanctity of human memory, which is a divine gift. Science should not intrude upon this personal property. When evaluating the validity of these tests, it is vital to ensure they align with constitutional rights, long-standing criminal jurisprudence, and the rights of the accused. Striking the right balance becomes a challenge. On one hand, such advancements provide authentic evidence, making it easier
for judges to convict and impose severe penalties, ensuring guilt is established beyond reasonable doubt. On the other hand, we must be cautious not to overlook fundamental rights and individual liberties in our pursuit of progress. As society evolves, laws may need to adapt, but it must be done while upholding the core principles that protect the dignity and rights of all individuals.
