[tri-med] Genetic Privacy and Genetic Discrimination

If anyone wants to read the discussion paper (880 pages) it will be launched
in about 1 hour and will be available on the web site
http://www.alrc.gov.au/ of the Australian Law Reform Commission.
I havent seen it, and sadly have an appointment at 11.00am so I wont see it
till tonight - but I wait with baited breath. You will know if they listened
to me if you see the quote "Genetic information is not a medical diagnosis
but simply the genetic profile of a person that is subject to the
variability of genetic expression" - the head of the commission asked my
permission to quote me - and that premise my friends was the key to my
submission.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
