Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure?

Topic 2: Should employers have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they hire? Are there special considerations for employees in jobs in which there is a high risk to others, such as airline pilots, doctors, bus drivers?

Topic 3: Should scientists who identify genes and create new genetic engineering techniques have the right to patent their methods for their own profit?

Prompt: Should employers have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they hire? Are there special considerations for employees in jobs in which there is a high risk to others, such as airline pilots, doctors, bus drivers?

My belief is yes and no. In my opinion, the choice really depends on what the job is. Yes, there would be special considerations for high-risk jobs, including first-aid workers, bus drivers, and pilots, to name a few. For example, if someone who was born with narcolepsy probably wouldn't be the best candidate for any type of transportation job. According to Mayo Clinic, "The cause of narcolepsy isn't well understood but may involve genetic factors and abnormal signaling in the brain." On the other hand, employers who are employing people for a camera company may need to know if one of their employees was color-blind for testing purposes, they wouldn't need to know if their employee was born with it or received it from an STD. However, the fact remains, the employers don't have a 'right' to know the genetics of their employees, and most likely, never will. "Genetic Information and the Workplace" says, "Employers should not obtain or disclose genetic information about employees or potential employees under most circumstances An employer should be able to disclose genetic information for research and other purposes with the written, informed consent of the individual."
