question 12

Essay

Jordan has just graduated and has started a new job as an investment banker.  After her conditional offer of employment, she took a company required medical exam and then when she applied for company life insurance coverage, she was required to take a second medical exam.  Although she is currently an avid cyclist and very healthy, in the past she had experienced certain problems.  In her freshman year, she suffered through a problem pregnancy and a resultant still birth.  As a result, she underwent an involuntary hysterectomy to save her life.  She was devastated that at 19 years old she would never be able to have a child and suffered from depression.  She underwent intensive psychological counseling for six months and is currently very well adjusted and other than some regret, she has accepted her fate.  Both her demeanor and appearance are both normal and fit.  She is however, a very private person and is concerned that her personal information could become public.  What would you tell her about the laws that protect her?
