Who Gets to Know? Genetics and Privacy—A Fred Friendly Seminar

When it comes to genetic testing, how much should a patient be told? If the news is bad, who else should the patient inform? And could—or should—such privileged information be made available to employers, insurance companies, and others? This Fred Friendly Seminar moderated by Harvard Law School’s Arthur Miller offers a compelling discourse on the far-reaching ethical, social, legal, and economic implications of genetic testing. Panelists include U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer; Nancy Wexler, president of the Hereditary Disease Foundation; Cynthia McFadden, ABC News senior legal correspondent; Nadine Strossen, president of the ACLU; and Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter (D-NY), sponsor of the Genetic Non-discrimination in Health Insurance and Employment Act. (58 minutes)
