RE: What If We Could Predict Death?

in #technology7 years ago

Perhaps no one would die then. I fear what would happen if the insurance companies got a hold of that. If your algorithm was predicting death soon they might jack up the price what you pay. On the flip side perhaps that could have helped to save my sweetheart Marcia from death. But when you miss someone that much self preservation is not as high of a priority anymore. You just want to be reunited. Thanks for sharing your article.

I don't think the insurance companies would get their hands on such algorithm. I guess there would be some code of conduct like "patient doctor confidentiality" in place to prevent that.
