Some jobs involve exposure to very hazardous materials, such as lead and other toxic
materials. Could a company appropriately prohibit women from holding such jobs, on the grounds that the toxic environment might harm fetuses of pregnant women? Johnson Controls manufactures batteries, using lead as a primary ingredient. Known harm caused by exposure to lead includes harm to the fetus carried a female employee. Johnson Control began hiring women for work in its factories in 1977. After several workers became pregnant and had lead levels in their blood in excess of recommended levels, the company adopted a new policy prohibiting any women who were pregnant or of child-bearing age from working in areas of the factory where they might be exposed to lead. The U.S. Supreme Court, in 1991, struck down the restriction as a violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, noting that men could also suffer from exposure to lead but were not barred from these jobs.
What will be an ideal response?Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee, was born in South Africa without fibulae in his lower legs
When he was only eleven months old, his legs were amputated below the knee. When still a child, he started used artificial legs so he could run during rugby games. As an adult, he competed in 400-meter races wearing carbon-fiber prosthetic legs. The international governing body for track and field ruled that he was ineligible to compete in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, as the prosthetic legs violated their rule against springs or wheels. An international Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that he should be able to compete, concluding that the prosthetics gave him no special advantage, and he competed in the 2012 London Olympics.
