About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.Recommended

I am not a "privacy advocate" rather a network security expert.
Let's review the statement
"But if you're dead because of errors that could have been prevented by e-medicine, you can treasure your privacy for a long time. Very long, actually"
Scary, and uniformative and not a reliable conclusion.
I am willing to wager that over 95% of the transactions occuring via the "e-medicine" network will be of NON life threatning nature.
Where does the lives of a few warrant the loss of private information of the rest of us?
