Default ban on misuse of genetic testing
Law Seeks to Ban Misuse of Genetic Testing
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Published: November 15, 2009

The most important new antidiscrimination law in two decades — the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act — will take effect in the nation’s workplaces next weekend, prohibiting employers from requesting genetic testing or considering someone’s genetic background in hiring, firing or promotions.

Thank you for posting this, Paula. This is important for many of us. And probably just the beginning of what's needed to protect ourselves and our offspring.
