Will genetic testing lead to the denial of insurance?

A decade ago I would say no, it would be an invasion of privacy. Now though, if reading my emails and previous internet purchases isn't invasive, I don't think the government would find a dna test unreasonable.

Yes. Many are already advocating abortion when genetic tests show potential birth defects. This would be the logical next step.
