This amendment would apply very nicely in a situation where an individual goes to see a doctor and there's no reason that would warrant a DNA test, but a doctor says, “I want a DNA test from you.” The individual says, “You know, really, I don't want to have a DNA test on record, because there's a chance it may get abused at some other point in my life or may cause one of my relatives to be negatively impacted by my DNA test. I just have a sore throat. I want you to look at my sore throat.” The doctor might say, “No, I'm sorry, if you don't have a DNA test done, I'm just not going to facilitate looking after you.” This would say that a health care practitioner can't do that, but if they do DNA testing, they are protected.
