The introduction of newly developed medical genetic diagnostic tests has been accompanied by social problems involving privacy issues and genetic discrimination. Previous studies of genetic discrimination have focused on the areas of employment and insurance. In this paper, we provide six hypothetical illustrative cases of genetic discrimination involving access to public entities and to private entities considered to be public accommodations. We argue that many of these forms of genetic discrimination that arise in both the public and private sectors should be prohibited by Titles II and III, respectively, of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
新开发的医学基因诊断测试的引入伴随着涉及隐私问题和基因歧视的社会问题。先前关于基因歧视的研究主要集中在就业和保险领域。在本文中,我们提供了六个涉及获取公共实体和被视为公共住宿场所的私人实体的基因歧视假设案例。我们认为,公共部门和私营部门出现的许多此类基因歧视形式应分别被1990年《美国残疾人法案》第二章和第三章禁止。
