If your question is about the legality of something, for god's sake, ASK A LAWYER.

Seriously.

And, by the way, if you have a medical condition, don't ask random strangers about that, either-- ask a doctor.

You are right of course, but I still think it makes sense to post a question like that in here to get some idea of whether it may or may not be legal. Consulting a lawyer is expensive and getting a feel of the territory - at least of which questions to ask - is a good strategy.
