Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract / Description of output

The article by John Tibbets draws on a series of interviews with researchers and patient advocates active in the areas of health data ethics, privacy and regulation. Dr Claudia Pagliari comments on the issues surrounding genetic data, which is becoming increasingly available with the development of consumer DNA testing kits, with potential to link to other sources of personal data. She reflects on issues for trust and choice in an environment where personal data is being increasingly harvested and monetised, and considers some of the challenges for effective regulation.
