An example includes the UK Biobank, a repository of biological samples, and health data from some 500,000 volunteers between the ages of 40-69 aimed at helping scientists develop better methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for combating the conditions of old age, and to thereby improve the health of future generations: ,http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/. Secondary biobanks aggregate and manage samples and data originated by others for specific purposes but which now may be valuable for other research purposes. An example is the UK DNA Banking Network which aims to provide data to genome-wide association studies which seek to identify multiple loci which contribute to genetic risk for given diseases: ,http://www.dna-network.ac.uk/.

31. The HapMap Project (2002-2007) was a multi-country collaboration among scientists and agencies from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the UK, and the USA aimed at identifying and cataloguing human genetic similarities and differences and thereby discovering genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medicines and environmental factors.
32. See ,http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/thehapmap.html.en..
33. The 1000 Genome Project (2007-) is a human genome reference project aimed at finding the most genetic variants that have frequencies of at least 1% in the populations studied. ,http://www.1000genomes.org/about..
34. The dbGaP is a repository for archiving and distributing the study documents, phenotypic data, genetic data, and statistical results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype. Such studies include genome-wide association (GWA) studies, medical sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, as well as association between genotype and nonclinical traits. ,http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/about.html..
35. GAIN is a public-private partnership which invites data from investigators of existing case-control or trio (parent-offspring) studies, and it supports GWA studies designed to identify the relation between specific DNAvariation and particular common diseases. Data are held in a database at the National Library of Medicine at the NIH for further use by other researchers. GAIN gives data producers a six-month publishing lead over competitors. Requests for access are considered by an NIH Data Access Committee. ,http://www.genome.gov/19518664..
36. The WTCCC is a collaboration of UK-based geneticists analysing thousands of DNA samples from a range of specific GWA studies aimed at identifying common genetic variations for different diseases. While some data are available on the internet, genotypic and phenotypic data are obtained by application to the Consortium Data Access Committee. ,http://www.wtccc.org.uk/..
37. NASC offers a transcriptomics service to process samples and RNA with Affymetrix gene chips. It makes all donated data publicly available after a confidentiality period of 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on what donors/customers choose; the length of the confidentiality period is linked to the priority that donors demand for analysis service (ie a request for quick processing results in the provision of a shorter confidentiality period). ,http://affymetrix.arabidopsis.info/..

39. We are generally trying to forge a society shaped by positive rights supported by legal protections and processes that are available to all, including scientists, the elderly, and others. However, as a result of individual and collective practices, that society remains, in many ways, aspirational.

66. We recognise that desires, even those indirectly fuelled by rights, do not automatically entitle, much less grant, individuals the right to have those desires satisfied, but, we contend, a welfare-based rights society would and should endeavour, as far as possible, to deliver on the desires that our rights instruments feed.
67. With respect to long life, some argue that there is no evidence that humans have reached the limit of life expectancy: J Oeppen and J Vaupel, 'Demography: Broken Limits to Life Expectancy' (2002) 296 Science 1029.
68. For evidence of the hope being placed in new technologies, see European Commission, Together for Health: A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013 (EU Publications Office, Luxembourg 2007).
69. Increased sharing of research and health data is also important for measuring how countries are performing with respect to health; current data practice hinders investigations into whether adequate and appropriate health research is being conducted in conformity with international right-to-health demands: G Backman and others, 'Health Systems and the Right to Health: An Assessment of 194 Countries' (2008) 372 Lancet 2047.

77. P Coggan and others, 'Pensions - Falling Shorts', 9-11 April 2011, Economist, Special Report. From a systemic perspective, there are concerns about how to accommodate the growing number of geriatric patients.
78. For example, the balance in the provision of elderly care/support as between home-based options and long-term institutional care has shifted toward the latter as higher female employment rates have risen and family mobility has increased. This balance-shift, combined with growing numbers of elderly people will cause acute problems: C Masseria and E Mossialos, Research Note: How Much Care for Older People will be Needed? What can Policies do to Avoid or Reduce Dependency and to Ensure that Adequate Care will be Available? (EU Publications Office, Luxembourg 2006).

81. Life expectancy in several EU countries, including the UK, is now higher, although discrepancies exist across national borders: D Leon, 'Trends in European Life Expectancy: A Salutary View' (2011) Int J Epidemiology 1, early online, at ,http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/03/16/ije.dyr061.full.pdf+html.

87. Medical technologies include drugs, diagnostic tools, screening devices, and non-drug therapies.
88. E Rynning, above, n 56, at 303. Examples of research-driven innovations that have entered healthcare systems are pre-natal genetic diagnostics and improved fertility treatments, which are highly technical and expensive, and therefore of limited use. It has been noted that recent health and medical improvements, including in life expectancy, have been enjoyed primarily by the socio-economically advantaged, not by the disadvantaged: D Leon, above, n 67.

90. See V Fuchs, 'Health Care for the Elderly: How Much? WhoWill Pay for It?' (1999) 18 Health Affairs 11, who, analysing the US context, reported that if trends to 1995 continue until 2020, healthcare consumption by the elderly will be some US$25,000 per person (in 1995 dollars) compared with $9,200 in 1995.

138. By 'holistic', we mean that stakeholders must take a broad and encompassing or inclusive view of the field and its relevant regulatory components and make changes in a joined-up way, so that alterations at one point are appropriately recognised or carried through at other points.
139. It is appropriate to separate the two regimes because governments have a duty to promote and realise health under international law, which duty is not imposed on individuals in the same way.
