Editing Genetic testing (section)

===In Israel===
The Israeli [[Knesset]] passed the Genetic Information Law in 2000, becoming one of the first countries to establish a regulatory framework for the conducting of genetic testing and genetic counseling and for the handling and use identified genetic information. Under the law, genetic tests must be done in labs accredited by the [[Ministry of Health (Israel)|Ministry of Health]]; however, genetic tests may be conducted outside Israel. The law also forbids discrimination for employment or insurance purposes based on genetic test results. Finally, the law takes a strict approach to genetic testing on minors, which is permitted only for the purpose of finding a genetic match with someone ill for the sake of medical treatment, or to see whether the minor carries a gene related to an illness that can be prevented or postponed.<ref name="Zlotogora">{{cite journal | vauthors = Zlotogora J | title = Genetics and genomic medicine in Israel | journal = Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine | volume = 2 | issue = 2 | pages = 85–94 | date = March 2014 | pmid = 24689070 | pmc = 3960049 | doi = 10.1002/mgg3.73 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | vauthors = Even D |title=A Different Kind of Inheritance |url=https://www.haaretz.com/2009-10-22/ty-article/a-different-kind-of-inheritance/0000017f-e6de-dc7e-adff-f6ff10f30000 |access-date=16 January 2024 |work=[[Haaretz]] |date=2009-10-22 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240116050512/https://www.haaretz.com/2009-10-22/ty-article/a-different-kind-of-inheritance/0000017f-e6de-dc7e-adff-f6ff10f30000 |archive-date=2024-01-16}}</ref>

Under the Genetic Information Law as of 2019, commercial DNA tests are not permitted to be sold directly to the public, but can be obtained with a court order, due to data privacy, reliability, and misinterpretation concerns.<ref>{{cite news | vauthors = Keyser Z |title=Want to fully understand your family genealogy?
