 Item — Box: MM-21, Object: 30
Identifier: NE0121A

Scope and Contents

From the video case - When it comes to genetic testing, how much should a patient be told?  If the news is bad, who else should the patient inform? And could - or should - such privileged information be made available to employers, insurance companies, and others? This Fred Friendly Seminar moderated by Harvard Law School's Arthur Miller offers a compelling discourse on the far reaching ethical, social, legal and economic implications of genetic testing.  Panelists include U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer; Nancy Wexler; Cynthia McFadden (ABC News senior legal consultant); Nadine Strossen (president of the ACLU); and Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter (D-NY).
