Privacy, public health, and controlling medical information
HEC Forum 22 (3):225-240 (2010)

It begins by sketching several arguments that support presumptive claims to informational privacy, turning then to consider cases which illustrate when and how privacy may be overridden by public health concerns | |||||||||
