Chen finds this position to be somewhat incomprehensible, Liu Hung-en points out that in Japan, citizens are told clearly that "the results of the genetic analysis or blood analysis will not be revealed to the donor of the sample." This avoids giving people the false impression that participating in the database means getting a free physical or genetic exam.
另一方面，劉宏恩指出，日本的基因資料庫特別向民眾說明，「不會將個別病患的基因解析、血液解析等結果通知樣本提供者」，以避免民眾誤認為參與研究可獲得免費體檢或基因檢查。
