This week, we will be discussing the collection of bio data including wearable technology, health apps, and direct-to-consumer DNA testing. Please consider the following discussion questions prior to class.
1. Have you ever purchased a piece of wearable technology, such as an Apple Watch? What are your thoughts on privacy considerations surrounding the collection of health data?
2. When downloading apps, how do you balance convenience with privacy? Do you read the terms of service?
3. Should law enforcement be allowed to access commercial DNA databases?
