>Giving my MRI scans to Facebook? I'm not even going there, but taking less real slices will most likely allow to replace that real tumor by some extrapolated healthy tissue. Who wouldn't want that. Less definition is always cheaper - I mean better.
One problem that medical science has is that we know a lot about disease, but not about what causes disease or what it looks like before it's detectable (obviously there are exceptions like smoking causing cancer etc).FB etc have a huge amount of data on 10-15 years of people's lives and it'd be illuminating if they could somehow link it with medical records.
That ignores that fact that no one in their right mind would want to give FB, Google etc. any more data to mine and sell. I wish there was some way that this kind of analysis could be done without destroying privacy.
