    Well if it helps accelerate the development of life saving medications I suppose it’s the least offensive use of that data.

    Much preferred over say insurance companies using it or hostile governments lmao

      We all know it won’t stop there. Once they have it they’re going to make as much money off of it as possible.

      I’m pretty sure insurance companies already have some kind of access to this stuff, despite saying they don’t.
