Stop genetic discrimination
The government’s advisory body on genetics wants new legislation to stop workplace and insurance discrimination on genetic grounds.
“There should be no genetic judgment of whether somebody is appropriate for any job, with rare exceptions possibly,” said John Sulston, vice-chair of the Human Genetics Commission.
Unions want the genetic privacy of workers to be respected, and genetic testing to be excluded from decisions about employment.
