Precision medicine has greatly changed the concept of disease treatment and the mode of diagnosis and treatment, bringing unprecedented health benefits to human beings. Due to the complex interaction between individual and group in precision medicine, there arises a series of ethical issues, such as the paradoxes of privacy between individual patients and groups of patients, individual patients’lack of trust towards groups of medical personnel, coexistence of cooperation and competition between individual medical personnel and groups of medical personnel, and individual doctors bearing more and more ethical responsibility on groups of patients. This article argues that only when we agree with the value concept and practical needs of precision medicine, lay a basis of ethical consideration, and review the individual and group relationship in precision medicine, can we construct a“a community of shared future for patients”that strikes a balance between privacy protection and information sharing, a harmonious and friendly“doctor-patient community” , a“medical personnel community”with cohesive force, and improve the professional ethics of medical personnel to promote the realization of China’ s precision medicine strategy that everyone can participate in and share.
