Abstract
|
|
|
An important ethical issue regarding biological samples stored in biobanks is unforeseen future sample use, when no or limited subject consent is obtained. Biobanks of biological samples have significant future research potential, but may cause conflicts of interest regarding the consent obtained,
Some peoples argue that broad consent is valid ethically and should be recommended for biobank research provided that: personal information related to research is handled safely; donors of biological samples are granted the right to withdraw consent; and new research studies or changes to the legal or ethical authority of a biobank are approves by an IRB.
We criticize that they ignore a basic requirement for autonomy, understanding. Combined with an over sized eagerness to promote research and recruitment, this combination of risk and information ignorance can become dangerous.
