Makes life interesting ... don't ya think ....

Pre-ordained? Naah, nothing is pre-ordained. All the Copenhagen experiment did was try to discount the quantum mechanic view of subatomic particles (wave-particle duality) and invoked a collapse of the wave function. A special condition invoked to account for the observation, IMO. Schrodinger's mental experiment (Schrodinger's cat) illustrated the problem nicely. The observer dependence argument was poppy-cock too, IMO. If I look at a tree and then turnaround so I don't see the tree, does it cease to exist? Turn your back on someone shooting at you and find out
I think Heisenberg, summarized the problem correctly. The act of measuring (observing) altered the system and therefore the outcome such that probability could be applied. This is a fundamental truism in scientific experimentation and a question I always keep uppermost in my mind when interpreting an experimental result with a living cell.
