I have thought about your position more and I realize I basically agree. More data isn’t strictly good, but in the right hands it is useful, and that choice should be left to individuals.

Also, it makes sense to me that, as technology improves and becomes cheaper, we should utilize it more. It may take time to come up with the proper process to maximize usefulness and reduce false positives, but it’s the path of progress.

I hope that in the future, humans consider it barbaric that we weren’t aware of things like cancer and tumors at the earliest stages, even if in many cases there’s no treatment necessary.
