"I advertised for people who had had negative experiences with social agencies, insurers or employers after genetic diagnosis, and I was shocked by the response." The most common complaint was against hard-nosed health insurers, but many talked of being denied a job or losing a promotion. Some even reported that they had been prevented from adopting children because of information found in genetic tests.
