Week 9-Genetic Disclosure
I do not think that giving genetic information to insurance companies would be a good idea. While we do get exams to get the insurance, genetics is private. Giving that information to the insurance companies would give them a lot more power. They would definitely deny the insurance or make it extremely expensive if you had some type of genetic disorder. We need to know about these disorders and try to control them or treat them, but it is not for the insurance companies to decide who should get insurance based on their genes.

It's possible you controlled a disease your were genetically predisposed too, but your rates had gone up because your genes said you had a chance of getting it. That seems very unfair, and something that insurance companies would definitely abuse.
