Well there it is. You couldn't have an objective discussion about this, even if you wanted to. You (and your family) have already gone through the process. So of course you're extremely hopeful/optimistic that this works out with no problems ;)

Vested interest doesn't preclude objective discussion, it just makes it more difficult and more likely to be one-sided. In this case OP argues that the companies most financially lucrative position is to use the data in a way that benefits both the company and society. That stands as a strong argument against the parent comments, regardless of the underlying motivations.
