Boy in school flap over cystic fibrosis
http://j.mp/RENS1n (SFGate)
"Except now, school officials believe his genetic makeup means he is a
health risk to some of its other students and ordered that he be moved
to another district middle school 3 miles away. Colman carries the
genetic mutations for cystic fibrosis - but his doctor and parents say
he does not have the disease. His parents, out of an abundance of
caution, made the disclosure about his condition on a medical
disclosure form when he began the school year."

Sounds like genetic discrimination to me.
