- hiPpymIck, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2 if anonymous medical records were avaidable
you could combine them with local data
eg weather local pollution levels local chemical plants
local anything
and get the computer to look for trends
which you could then evaluate..
you might find new causes of something
im thinking of unexplained Leukemia 'clusters' in UK for example - inactive, on 07/19/2008, -0/+21. A few sites report that "aids rates are down in iceland - hardly anyone has aids"

- unfairunbalance, on 07/19/2008, -1/+0Not only they find them but developed viruses to curb populations. Africa is a beta test for AIDS.
Wait for what they will unleash next.

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PT ... - GogglesPaisan, on 07/19/2008, -1/+0Must have been an expensive undertaking - wonder who is paying those scientist's salaries.
