    Because signing these documents must be accompanied by a doctor explaining things (informed consent) I don’t think it’s really possible for people to not realize what they are agreeing to.

    Also because it is medical information it will be held to a much higher privacy standard than is typical.

    For these reasons I don’t really think a privacy argument makes sense and the case to reduce harm seems pretty robust.
