How? By registering with a central agency and supplying simple health information. Your participation -
will be simpler than your regular check-up visit to a doctor. There will be no special experiments, no
special procedyres (unless you wish them), no ‘do this” and ‘don’t do that’. You will be encouraged to
continue leading your normal life. You will have complete control over your participation. You will answer

a few questions, you will give an extra sample of blood and urine when you would normally give them
anyhow (for example, during pregnancy and:-at your yearly checkup). The information gathered will be
fed into a computer and further ‘checks will be made from time to time over a period of several years.
