Well, short answer is - we all do.
The UK has opened its BioBank to researchers.
Once again, one of those intrusive, socialist, inefficient and untrustworthy governments has done something on national scale that doesn't immediately show a bottom line. From the BBC report:
The UK Biobank, the most comprehensive health study in the UK, is opening its doors to researchers.
It has collated about 20TB (terabytes) of securely stored data, the equivalent of 30,000 CDs-worth, on 500,000 people.
The aim of the biobank is to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
...
...
"It has huge potential for future generations and will help us understand how our children and our children's children can live longer, healthier lives."
The biobank is funded by the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Department of Health, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the British Heart Foundation.
What this means to scientific pinheads like me
(you know, one of those socialist academic snobs) is an almost bottomless pit upon which we can build accurate predictive models of a patients health risk from a large number of factors. There will be many researchers in private industry who will access this resource.
These are their guidelines for who can use the data:
UK Biobank is a tool for health research. The Resource is available to all bona fide researchers for all types of health-related research that is in the public interest, without preferential or exclusive access for any person. All researchers, whether in universities, charities, government agencies or commercial companies, and whether based in the UK or abroad, will be subject to the same application process and approval criteria.
Doesn't that sound wickedly socialist....?
Thank you Government for a resource that would not exist without you.
