Question

Alice works for a large advertising agency where she is hoping to be promoted to a management position. alice's mother and two sisters all died of breast cancer at a young age. alice's employer knows this, and will not put alice in a management position because he fears that she will also develop cancer. the employer's decision is prohibited by what statute?

Answer 1

I would say this could be a kind of statute of limitations whereby the potential for illness would only figure into the decision in the case of Alice and her present and past medical condition and not extend to her family propensities.
