Washington - Under a new US law passed this week by US Congress,
it will be illegal for employers and insurance companies to
discriminate based on genetic data that can identify risk of future
illnesses or other factors.
Only patients and their attending physicians would have access to
their private genetic information. The New York Times reported on
Friday that President US George W Bush intends to sign the bill into
law.
People know we all have bad genes, and we are all potential victims
of genetic discrimination," said Representative Louise M. Slaughter,
Democrat of New York, who first proposed the legislation.
