    In Gattaca it was illegal to discriminate based on Genes.....but they did it anyway....

    "My father was right. It did not matter how much I lied on my resume. My real resume was in my cells. Why should anybody invest all that money to train me when there were a thousand other applicants with a far cleaner profile? Of course, it's illegal to discriminate, 'genoism' it's called. But no one takes the law seriously. If you refuse to disclose, they can always take a sample from a door handle or a handshake, even the saliva on your application form. If in doubt, a legal drug test can just as easily become an illegal peek at your future in the company."

    That film is a masterpiece. Seriously, I love it.

    Then again, certain jobs just require certain specifications. For instance, astronauts have to be so and so tall. That's discriminating by genes.
