What is DNA identification?

DNA identification is crucial in tragedies like the Pakistan hospital fire where victims are unrecognisable. It involves comparing DNA samples from the burnt remains with samples from potential relatives, like the parents of the newborns. This scientific method provides accurate identification, allowing families to grieve and receive their loved ones' bodies.
