In the new genomic world, we should all adopt personal health records with the default access policy being one of full access to the public. That is, your entire medical record and your entire genome should be in your possession and control and also be made public. The incremental risk to privacy will be negligible (because of our reassuring delusions about the current state of privacy) and the incremental gain to biomedical knowledge and improved therapeutics, very large. Recent developments in information technologies enable widely distributed such personal control today.
