I work close to the top of the genomics group in a biopharma you've definitely heard of.
When a leading public genetics co first showed signs of distress we signed a MoU and had a look at what they were offering.
Our legal group came back a few weeks later saying, \"absolutely not.\"
Their reasoning was that owning that data was an insane liability and frankly dangerous to even use given the quality of the consents involved.
Maybe some other org will be unethical and dumb enough
