I assume that I have no right over my personal medical data as recorded by the NHS and can't deny the NHS the right to sell my personal data? Of course not.

Do you still hang onto that old VCR because DVD players won't play your tapes and it'd be a waste to throw that VCR away? At some point we have to upgrade if we want to stay current. This is the same with any technology, not just
