Bill To Outlaw Genetic Discrimination In US
fatduck sends us a brief note from New Scientist about the overwhelming passage in the US House of Representatives of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. As written, the bill would prohibit insurance companies from charging higher rates, and employers from discriminating in hiring, based on the results of genetic tests. A Boston Globe editorial notes that the bill has been held up in the Senate by the action of a single senator, who has an (outdated) objection based on his anti-abortion stance. President Bush has said he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
Oh man, evolution is so 90s...
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Why does Slashdot let articles through like this? The submitter managed to put so much personal opinion in the 1st paragraph, its a wonder I just don't start reading fox news for unbiased, fair and balanced headlines....
eventually = once Bush is out of office, or has made a bid for Dictatorship.
