  • Description: Correspondence to Professor Søren Holm, Department of Law, The University of Manchester, Manchester, Manchester, UK; soren.holm@manchester.ac.uk In the paper ‘Genetic information, insurance, and a pluralistic approach to justice’, Jonathan Pugh1 develops an argument from unresolved pluralism in our theories of justice, via the pluralism this occasions in relation to the specific question of the use of genetic test results (GTRs) in insurance underwriting, to the conclusion that the UK regulatory approach in relation to the use of GTRs in insurance is broadly correct.1 Pugh’s argument is wide-ranging and I cannot provide a complete critique of it in this short comment, but I will gesture towards some strands of the argument that are potentially problematic. Article 12 of the Convention prohibits predictive genetic testing that is not ‘for health purposes or for scientific research linked to health purpose’, and Article 11 states that ‘Any form of discrimination against a person on grounds of his or her genetic heritage is prohibited.’ 4 Nill A, Laczniak G, Thistle P.
