Yep.

One such potentially amazing application further out in medicine, I could see is that biometric data-mining crypto system that religious conspiracy theorist have been going nuts over. IF managed properly...

Would be a ways out in development, but having access to millions' of people live biometric data would mean HUGE strives forward in statistical science and customized medicine, while providing people compensation for their contributions.

Several years away, and definitely got hurdles to overcome...
