I'm sorry for your loss, but as I understanding it, employers are not currently forbidden from offering these genetic tests, they are only forbidden from incentivizing them or penalizing you if you refuse. That's to make sure the disclosure is entirely voluntary. > Furthermore, as an employer myself, I can't for the life of me understand or comprehend how one would discriminate against someone based on what genes they have. > What are you going to do? Block them from leading a project since they test positive for XYZ Type A? Not everyone is as nice as you. I can certainly imagine an employer terminating someone who tests "positive for XYZ Type A" because they don't want to pay the costs of treating the disease (though they may have to jump through some hoops to make it look kosher). Healthy employees are cheaper employees. Also, keep in mind, not every employee is a developer-type that could be "leading a project." Think of all the other kinds of employees: phone reps, janitors, clerks, mechanics, etc. They're already treated as disposable, unlike a high skill developer.
