In a 2007 survey of 1,199 American adults conducted by the Johns Hopkins Genetics and Public Policy Center to measure public acceptance of the use of genetic test results, 93 percent said that health insurers and employers should not be permitted to use results from a predictive genetic test to discriminate against an individual. And most believed there should be a law prohibiting such discrimination.
