Cancer is something you may want to keep secret without being shameful.
In privacy discussions, such examples are rare.
Yet, those examples are useful because they prevent people dismissing the arguments because `people shouldn't be doing that anyway`.
That is, no-one wants to keep people from going to cancer-related websites. This is very different from e.g. porn or STDs. I guess perhaps the exception are the nut-cases that believe people getting cancer `deserve it` because otherwise it wouldn't be part of gods plan. But luckily very few people consider those opinions relevant.
