Bush calls for ban on genetic discrimination
President Bush urges outlawing discrimination based on genetic testing in his weekly radio address recorded at his Crawford ranch. He notes Congress support but diverges with Democrats over the right to sue insurers or employers for damages. The issue follows ongoing debates on patients rights and genome mapping raises concerns about privacy and potential misuse in hiring and insurance. Rep. Louise Slaughter promotes federal genetic discrimination legislation with broad support in both chambers.
