Not quite as high as your’s...

“Why would an employer OR the government need this genetic testing from you? To determine whether you’re susceptible to a particular ailment? If so...I’m thinking, hell no and the ferrules should pass a law forbidding employers from demanding this sort of thing as a condition of employment and or keeping employment.”

I think they could have pulled it off in the 1980’s. I was in banking I/T at the time. Seemed pretty straightforward.

Now, we’ve gone so far beyond that.

Each person’s genetic information belongs to them, not to their employer, and legislators who claim otherwise are unfit to hold office.

Considering the FBI used Best Buys Geek Squad as agents to rifle through folks computers looking for evidence of criminality....w/o probable cause warrants. They say...it was the Geek Squad, not the FBI, we don't need a warrant. But, they trained the GS members.

NSA, CIA spying on Americans that have done nothing wrong and w/o probable cause warrants.

LEO using asset forfeiture laws to seize folks property...w/o warrants, charges or convictions.

IRS, OSHA, EPA, BLM being weaponized against innocent Americans for speaking their minds.

Swat raids have increased from 15K to over 80K in the last decade.

TSA accosting folks at the airports, bus terminals, ferry landings.

All federal agencies under Obozo armed up to the teeth with military grade vehicles, weapons, armor.

Local law enforcement utilizing surveillance drones which initially they claimed would never be armed...well, guess what?

ALPR’sautomatic lic plate readers stationed throughout cities, roadways that scan hundreds of plates per hour. They know when you leave, they know when you arrive.

National ID act. Requiring states to meet certain standards for their identification. Creating bio-metric databases to include finger prints and digital photos, now being incorporated into facial recognition.

Think I'm spewing a bunch of conspiracy stuff...think again. I see an alarming trend, an erosion of privacy and freedoms.

Years ago, we used to make fun of a guy at the office that tawked about all of this. He seemed like an alarmist, although lucid and sane as anyone.

We're not laughing anymore.

The question is what other laws have been passed to ensure privacy on genetic testing?

From another post on FR under search word “genetic testing”
which was about the proposal of “Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2005” and after a search re: this topic I found:

Federal Legislation on Genetic Discrimination in Insurance or Employment
https://www.genome.gov/11510230/federal-legislation-on-genetic-discrimination-in-insurance-or-employment/

at the top it says:

Pual Ryan is yet again selling out the People to Insurance Companies.

NO! Ryan has put the GOP into big trouble.
