We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Genetics and Privacy: A Patchwork of Protections
Breakthroughs in genomics offer potential new diagnosis methods and disease treatments, yet a patchwork of legal protections leaves genetic information vulnerable to inappropriate use and disclosure.

A new report by the Georgetown University Health Privacy Project looks at genetics and privacy. Genetics and Privacy: A Patchwork of Protections reviews the state of the science and defines common genetic terms. It discusses how genetic information is vulnerable, examines the role of Internet health, and the gaps in national policy that leave genetic information exposed to potential misuse.
