Genetic information?


Do you think it is right for employeers, school officals, health insurance, anyone, and yourself to know about genetic disorders? I mean to be ably to look them up right on the internet with the person name?

I think if an individual wishes to know about their own genetics, they should be allowed to find out. But, as far as this information being publicly accessible in the manner you describe, I think it's completely wrong and an invasion of privacy. Insurance companies are already trying to lobby for the use of this information in setting health insurance and life insurance premium costs, and deny policies based upon genetic "likelihood". A;;owng such use only leads to another form of discrimination.

it is a must tat everyone knows abt their genetic make up...its their birthright..
