Um...discrimination?  "PSA Test" stands for "Prostate-Specific Antigen
Test."  Exactly *zero* women have ever died from prostate cancer since,
you know, they don't have prostates.  Prostate cancer largely afflicts
older men.  Hence the age restriction.  The only really puzzling part of
these restrictions is race since black men are far more likely to get
prostate cancer than white men (white men are also more likely to get
prostate cancer than Hispanics or Asians).
