Description
INTRODUCTION In the wake of the human genome project, Marc A. Lappe warns society of the privacy issues at stake arising from the potential misuse of genetic information. Echoing Lappe's assertions, many bioethicists and legislators have expressed concerns regarding the use of genetic information in employment and insurance decisions. In response to these concerns, the federal government enacted the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), which aimed to prevent genetic discrimination by employers and health insurers. The law became effective for health insurers in May of 2009, and for employers on November 21, 2009. (2) G1NA prohibits employers and insurance companies from discriminating on the basis of genetic information and from requiring genetic testing as a condition for employment or receiving an insurance policy. (3) Much of the fear surrounding the use of genetic information in the realm of employment revolves around the use of "arguably relevant" information concerning someone's employment. (4) The question is whether companies should be privy to genetic information when making their employment decisions. GINA resoundingly answers: no.
