Reconsidering genetic antidiscrimination legislation.

J Beckwith1, J S Alper.   

Abstract

In response to the awareness that genetic discrimination is a significant problem, many states have passed or are passing legislation regulating the use of genetic information. Authors discuss the weaknesses as well as the strengths of such legislation, and recommend that the laws be redrafted to prohibit discrimination on the basis of any type of predictive medical information.
