Advances in genetic science have repeatedly grabbed headlines recently, from cloned calico cats to specially engineered food crops to promises that parents will soon be able to choose the physical characteristics of their future children. With the steady advance of technology and the increasing ease with which genetic material can be collected and analyzed, it is little wonder that some employers are contemplating using genetic testing as part of the employment process.

What makes genetic screening different is its ability to reveal not only existing conditions, but also potential ones. Genetic screening can reveal whether a person has a gene that predisposes him/her to a certain disease, or if there is a gene that will make the person hyper-susceptible to a condition if exacerbated in some way.
