It's hard to remember the last time anaything I did was not covered by some written or implied use authorization, disclosure or limit of liability form. In addition, our personal information has been hacked from healthcare providers, both large and small, and insurance companies, most recently 100 million people's private health care information stolen, without any permission or use authorization whatsoever. My benefit from it is 12 months of free credit monitoring.

When it comes to clinical trials in search of the next breakthrough treatment or cure for the cancer that plagues us; it simply isn't going to happen without patient participation. You are correct, there is a risk. Each of us can choose to decline to participate in hopes that others will take the risk and shoulder the responsibility; in which case the the study might not happen or the next breakthrough could be delayed due to lack of participation. Or, I can accept the limited risk, do my part to advance the science for my benefit, that of my family ( I can make them aware of potential hereditary diseases) and the families of everyone else who is, or will be, afflicted with prostate cancer. All of the treatments available to us today are there because those who came before us opted to take the risk. For me, it was a slam dunk decision. I hope others will continue to accept the risk required to end prostate cancer, as well.
