## Overview

Privacy and governance questions raised by biological samples, genomic information, and linked records. This subject connects to the wider Necromancer dossier, which brings together neuroscience, research governance, proposed programs, and an imaginative storyworld.

## Questions to explore

A careful introduction to donor privacy and stem-cell data asks how its central terms are defined, what evidence or experience is relevant, and which alternative explanations remain. For research, distinguish model validation, measurement quality, and functional outcomes. For governance, identify decision-makers and affected people. For storyworld ideas, mark metaphor and authored premises clearly.

## Limits and responsible interpretation

Ethical review should consider purpose, people and materials involved, potential harms, privacy, consent, fairness, and scientific justification. Review requirements depend on the research and jurisdiction, so consult current institutional policies and applicable standards.
