Genetic Testing and Women's Health Law

Genetic testing involves analyzing a person's DNA to identify genetic disorders or hereditary conditions. In the context of women's health law, it addresses how laws protect women’s rights regarding genetic information, such as the right to access testing, counseling, and privacy of results. It also includes regulations to ensure that women are not discriminated against in insurance or employment based on genetic predispositions. Additionally, women's health law advocates for informed consent, allowing women to make educated decisions about their health based on their genetic risks.
