Unlike other posters, I think this is a valid question. I mean, it's heart rate and temperature, not your porn habits or diary or whatever. If the availability of that data could potentially save many lives, why is it so bad to gather it?
I mean, if we're in favor of universal health care where, by some rhetoric, we're forcing people at gunpoint to give their money to save others, why is this so bad?
- dabbledash 5y agoThis is like saying “it’s just metadata, what could it reveal.” As for heart rate and temperature, having this info over time can show: When were you sleeping, active, potentially emotional? When did a woman ovulate? Is she pregnant now? Did she have a miscarriage? Or maybe an abortion?
- textgel 5y agoBecause those who want "just heart rate and temperature" will want more in future. We aren't setting that precedent and opening up the possibility for more.
