The Coalition for Genetic Fairness commends President George W. Bush for signing into law today the first civil rights legislation of the new millennium, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). GINA is the first and only federal legislation that will provide protections against discrimination based on an individual's genetic information in health insurance coverage and employment settings.

Interesting. On the surface I guess I support the idea.
One thing though does make me laugh.. so insurance companies can use very broad inaccurate information such as family history to discriminate against people, often coming to wrong conclusions, while they can't use specific accurate information?
