So, I'm sick, but that's not the point.
My dad took me to the docter's office this morning, because I've been having a fever and really painful coughing.
When we were checking in at the front desk, the lady asked my dad if I was willing to give any biological data retrieved durring the appointment,
And to sign the confidentiality slip.
He told her that I didn't want to,
And signed the paper.

When we went back to sit down, I asked him what she was talking about.
He told me that the Oregon (which is where I live) Legislators passed a law recently stating that,
With the permition of the patient,
Biological data retrieved can/will be used for any Bio-Genetic Mutation testing.

In case you're wondering what biological findings can be used,
Here's a list:

-Blood
-Urine
-Hair
-Skin
-Feckle Matter (Poo)
-ETC.

----------

Discuss:
You're views on this law.?
Does this effect you (obviously only if you live in Oregon)?
Any other laws that use findings at the docters that you think are odd.

Of course the law if fair. You have the choice to whether you allow the information to be used.

I'd let my info be used...No reason not to. I can make my medical reccord confidential but I'd like to think that if any medical history of mine was helpfull than it should help!

That is exactly what I believe, too!
I just don't understand why my dad didn't let them use my info.
Usually, he agree's with these sort of laws.

If I were to actually go to the doctor's- I'd let them.
But I hate doctors.
I don't go.
I even fixed my own ingrown toenail the other day by stabbing it with a needle.
That's how much I don't want to go- I'm terrified of needles by the way.

Whoa, you're really that afraid of the docters?
Well, this is just my opinion,
You wont stop being afraid of the docters unless you actually go to a check up or something.
It's really not that bad, a little embaressing at times, but nothing at all to be afraid of.

They say that we must take resposibility for our actions, yet they wont let us even make our own decisions. So basicly we are forced to take resposibility for our parents actions.

It needs to be changes so that once a person can think logicly, that they can make their own choices.

Don't see a problem with that law as long as you have the choice.

What is it actually used for though, you said "Biological data retrieved can/will be used for any Bio-Genetic Mutation testing."

But how do they use it. Just wondering if anyone knows.

Well, they use those biological stuff for research, by extracting many things from those materials. After all, AIDS, Influenza, and other disease just don't pop out onto culture (sp?), so basically we need those material in order to investigate the disease, or to keep up with disease (is that what you are asking for? if not, my bad xp )

Of course it's fair! You need consent, and all they do is get hair that falls off and pee and poo and such!
