Last week, President Bush signed into law the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, or GINA, which will protect individuals from employer and insurance discrimination based on the results of high-tech gene tests. Fighting discrimination is a good idea, but the lack of opposition to GINA points to some potentially serious problems. GINA passed the Senate unanimously and the House by a margin of 414-to-1, with Ron Paul, a Texas Republican, the lone dissenter.
