  • Abstract
    The increasing storage of vast amounts of information on computers and the rapidly increasing size of databases stored online has the population (and even many politicians) worried about invasion of privacy. This paper examines some possible ways in which privacy maybe invaded by the use of medical databases, particularly during the analysis and publication of results.
