“Foresight! Foresight!, which takes us ceaselessly beyond ourselves and often places us where we shall never arrive.” This quote by Jean-Jacques Rousseau appears on the opening page of Matthew L. Baum's book The Neuroethics of Biomarkers. Rousseau pinpoints the problem physicians are constantly grappling with, when trying to synthesise medical history, clinical signs, and results from investigations to make a diagnosis and ultimately a prognosis, and decide the interventions that may best serve our patients.

生物标志物，生物预测和伦理

“有远见！远见！！这使我们不断地超越自我，常常使我们处于我们永远无法到达的地方。” 让·雅克·卢梭（Jean-Jacques Rousseau）的这句话出现在马修·鲍姆（Matthew L.Baum）的《生物标志物的神经伦理学》一书的开篇中。卢梭（Rousseau）指出了医生在试图综合病史，临床体征和调查结果以做出诊断并最终做出预后，并确定最适合我们的患者的干预措施时不断解决的问题。
