Human Herd is a company based in Newark, New Jersey, that sequences individual’s DNA for a fee of $99.99. Michael Meier, the CEO of the company, hopes to find a way to assist with cancer research after his father is diagnosed with brain cancer. Michael instructs his research committee to scrape publicly available resources looking for the names of people diagnosed with brain cancer in Portugal and Germany. Michael plans to attempt to link these names to their relatives in the Human Herd database to help determine if genetics plays a part in those who contract brain cancer. Michael intends to sell the results of the search on Human Herd. One of the members of the research committee has taken this privacy class. Which of these is the most important concern this privacy student might raise?
