Description of CME Course
Advances in epigenetic age estimation are now applied in actuarial science to make risk assessment more precise. But such health insurance underwriting practices pose ethical and legal questions about discrimination, privacy, and equity in biological data use. Legal adaptations, such as Canada’s Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNDA) of 2017, aim to protect persons against genetic discrimination but do not evolve as quickly as epigenetic technology. This article examines the GNDA’s regulatory limitations and highlights the need for more adaptable legislative strategies.
