It's called DNA fingerprinting because when you touch things and leave fingerprints you are also leaving a trace of your DNA with your fingerprint. Plus every ones fingerprints are different. If you leave a perfect fingerprint somewhere then it can only be traced back to you as an exact match.

Why is DNA fingerprinting unreliable?
DNA fingerprinting is not as reliable as regular DNA profiling. Statistics show that about one out every 800,000 people have the same DNA fingerprint.

Is DNA fingerprinting worthy?
Yes, to make the world safer. DNA fingerprinting prevents identity theft and some corruptness.
