In the article Give Up Your Data To Cure Disease, by David B. Agus, discusses his argument about how electronic health care systems are hurting the health system according to doctors, but he says otherwise. Agus says "neither doctors nor patients are happy with it." His main point or argument is that medical discoveries have been made by reviewing people's medical data. He then contends that more people should be willing to share their medical records with doctors to help cure disease.

The article Give Up Your Data To Cure Disease? Not So Fast!, by Deborah Peel, is basically a counter argument against the first article. Deborah starts of by saying that yes, patients records may hold information to cure disease, however, that information is personal data and should not be shared. Peel says that when we give our doctors that information we are trusting them to keep it safe and not share it. She claims it is personal information that should not be shared. She says "it destroys a human right, the right to privacy."
