How can one give informed consent to a measure, the consequences of which is hard to predict? Does the uncertainty and lack of predictability mean that paternalism slipped back in as a 'self-selected' responsiveness to the rhetoric of the health regime? Recently, Denmark has taken another step in the direction of voiding autonomy of actual value by rendering genetic analysis contingent on agreeing that the resulting data may be stored in the recently established National Genome Centre, and reused for research unless the patient opts out.

生物技术的发展步伐和复杂性挑战了立法基础上的可预测性，即政客有可能预见陷阱和危害，并据此设计立法。缺乏可预见性不仅对立法机关构成挑战，对公民也将构成挑战，因为公民必须同意卫生当局提供的新生物技术服务。人们如何才能在知情的情况下同意一项措施，其后果难以预测？不确定性和缺乏可预见性是否意味着家长式服务作为对卫生制度言论的“自选”反应而退缩了？最近，
