Increasingly, algorithms and computing power are combining to turn us into both the sources and the subjects of big data.  Professor Anya Prince from the University of Iowa College of Law, an expert in genetics and the law, joins us to explore the twin threats of genetic discrimination and loss of privacy in an age of SO MUCH genetic data.

 Anya Prince on Genetic Discrimination and Privacy

Anya Prince, JD - Associate Professor, College of Law

Some Americans still resist genetic testing for fear they will be discriminated against by insurance companies.  Why?in 2008, Congress passed GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, to protect us from insurance companies choosing to include us or not for policies based on the genes we came with.    Then in 2010, Congress passed the ACA, or Affordable Care Act, and with it protection against preexisting conditions.  This includes genetic predispositions.
