Gene-test law is more likely
In a follow-up to my post yesterday about genetic profiling, news comes out of Washington D.C. today revealing that under the new congress laws against discrimination based on genetic tests may be just around the corner. I do have to say that as much as a despise the idea of genetic profiling I do understand the arguments behind it, the main one being it will save insurance companies/employers money, and yes it almost certainly would. From a moral and social standpoint however, this type of discrimination is no different than racial profiling or gender profiling. You should not be allowed to judge someone based on a characteristic they had no choice over.
