Comment on 'Devious Defecator' case is a landmark for US genetic-privacy law

Comments

As the case shows, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that a company should be allowed to compel an employee to surrender their genetic material.

From the article:

"The law does include limited exemptions, however. Forensic laboratories can ask workers for their DNA to check that employees' genetic material does not contaminate the genetic samples that they analyse."
