Informed concent becmoes even harder with genetic screening like 23andMe. My in-laws did it (knowing that they both have horrible health histories) and then wanted me (not a geneticist, but a biologist) to explain all of it to them. When we went over their results 23andMe had very long pages explaining the potential implications of screening for some specific diseases (BRCA 1 and 2, Parkinsons', dementia, etc), but my mother-in-law didn't want to bother with all that, so she just clicked through. Thankfully, nothing came up, but I really wish that there had been some way to insist that she actually read and understand what the screening meant.
