GENETIC DISCRIMINATION
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights
Description: Since the mapping of the Human Genome, science has been able to identify the genes that make each human unique. While our DNA contains information about and individual?s physical and personality characteristics it also contains information about our susceptibility to illnesses and disabilities which can be passed on to our descendants.
Noting previous UN resolutions guaranteeing human rights such as: #56 BioRights Declaration, #83 The Eon Convention on Genocide, #88 Fairness and Equality and #99 Discrimination Accord.
The UN resolves that:
1. A person may not be limited, discriminated against or restricted access to any of the following based on the information contained in their individual genetic blue print:
? Social Services provided by governments including, but not limited to, Health, Justice, Education, Housing, Unemployment benefits, etc
? Commercial Services provided by the non-government sector including, but not limited to, Insurance, Financial Services, Information Services, other Goods & Services, etc
2 The pursuit of a Career, Recreational Activity or Commercial Enterprise shall not be limited by an individual?s genetic blueprint.
3. A person may not be denied reproductive rights due to the information contained in their genetic blueprint.
4. A person may not be denied any other rights guaranteed by previous UN resolutions based on the information contained in their genetic blueprint.
