Oh, please. READ THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS! e.g. the deals @Google's signing with #NHS Trusts in the UK assign it exclusive #IPR. The power imbalance is bad enough as it is; turning people's lives into property ('ownership' vs rights) will only make things worse...
...and the few details of the @GoogleHealth/@Ascensionorg deal that are now public show the clear intent to do commercial R&D on tens of millions of patients' identifiable data *without consent* - see item 3: cloud.google.com/blog/topics/in…

What exactly would 'ownership' get people...
..that stronger (e.g. #GDPR-like) properly-enforced #DataProtection rights wouldn't? Exactly how much do you think @Google would pay you for your entire medical history, or your genome? Do you think you'd get to negotiate? And once they paid, wouldn't they also 'own' you(r data)?
