"DATA Prison"

HIMSS 2015, by Regina Holliday

 Having worked with transplant surgeons, I learned that the State is the legal owner of our vital organs. This way, transplant surgeons can legally transplant vital organs.

Now, that's what I call putting things in perspective... #HIMSS15 #TheWalkingGallery @ReginaHolliday pic.twitter.com/qnbdqtqiaK

.@cathcoste Many laws around tissue/substances but not data. Gov't has big role 2 play in educating their citizens #healthdata = asset class

Nous avons des lois sur les tissus et les organes, mais aucune sur les données génétiques du citoyen - dont il devrait être le propriétaire.
