TalkBush Calls for Genetic Privacy Legislation
Who expected the President to get behind this ? Not I! But hey, he’s helped the issue garner headlines. (Let’s just hope his backing has a positive effect on Congress.)
“If a person is willing to share his or her genetic information, it is important that that information not be exploited in improper ways,” Mr. Bush said at the National Institutes of Health. “And Congress can pass good legislation to prevent that from happening.” He added, “We want medical research to go forward without an individual fearing personal discrimination.”
