Genetic+Discrimination

The law forbids the act of discriminating based on genetic information about an individual, his or her family's members. This information may be obtained through the family's medical history, individual's request of genetic services, or the participation in clinical research that includes genetic services by the individual. Furthermore, frozen embryos legally held by the individual or his/her family members may be used to acquire genetic information. Employers may not use this data to make employment decisions because genetic information is not relevant to an individual's current ability to do the work. It is illegal to harass, demote, fire or retaliate a person due to their genetic' make up.
