Should an adopted adult have the same rights to identifying information about his or her origins as all non-adopted adults?

I'm not sure.

Comments:
Most importantly for me is the health background information necessary for anticipating potential health risks to which the adopted adult may be predisposed. I am not aware of the initial confidentiality agreement to which the birth parent(s) agreed. I am assuming that confidentiality can still be maintained to the degree necessary while pertinent health information is accessible.

I am interested in the other arguments for and against this issue.
