A genetic heritage betrayed or empowered?
Article Abstract:
Strong opposition has arisen against a bill in Iceland that would provide the format for the establishment of a centralized computer health record database. The company that purchased or developed the hardware and software, as well as input and managed the database, would be given an exclusive 12-year license to market the database for the discovery of genes, drug development, and other uses outside of Iceland. deCODE Genetics was the considered to be the best company to be given the license. Those opposed to the bill claimed that it would threaten individual data security and destroy the relationship between patient and physician.
