title: [Chances and risks of predictive medicine].
abstract: Ethical reasoning for predictive medicine is closely related to evaluating its chances and risks, for the individual (including future generations) and society. An optimistic viewpoint will emphasize the chances of predictive medicine. Yet it will be of great importance to differentiate overall political perspectives and the effects of any single operational step in regard to its life saving properties. Whenever predictive medicine leads to irresponsible risk it has to be disapproved of.
