Cancer survivors need protection from future discrimination, say German politicians
German politicians who have survived cancer are advocating for a policy known as 'the right to be forgotten' to protect former cancer patients from discrimination in areas such as bank loans, adoption of children, and insurance. The proposed policy aims to address concerns raised by campaigners about widespread discrimination against individuals in remission, affecting an estimated 5.5 million people in Germany.
