Given limited health care resources also for genetic tests, it needs to be considered how we can meet health needs fairly if we cannot meet them all. • Frequently, health care decision making involves the explicit or implicit use of principles. The four basic principles for ethical decision making autonomy, non-maleficience, beneficience and justice provide an example of an elaborated bioethical framework by Beauchamp and Childress. • The qualitative use of such principles for allocating health resources within genetic testing is a fruitful starting point, but it should be complemented by health economic techniques and procedural fairness in a pragmatic manner.
