Genetic data makes it possible to predict the future health status of a healthy person at the time of the survey with a high probability and can, therefore, be used as grounds for discrimination in the use of third parties. The question of the protection of personality, physical and intellectual the integrity of a person in the conditions of the progress of biology, medicine and biochemistry has repeatedly become the subject of consideration in the reports of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
