Re data privacy, as of last summer in the UK we had to opt out of data sharing of our NHS records with third parties. I am conflicted about this because as you suggested, large amounts of data could be beneficial for things like statistical analysis and machine learning to help medical research. On the other hand, what we know about human nature seems to indicate that there will already be sociopaths slavering over this data in order to enrich themselves at the expense of everybody else.
