  • Title: Ethical aspects of informed consent for the collection, preservation and use of cells and tissues in biological banks for research purposes.
    Author: Petrini C.
    Journal: Rev Derecho Genoma Hum; 2012; (36):173-205. PubMed ID: 23115828.
    Abstract:
    This article explores the current and proposed requirements for informed consent for research with biological samples. The establishment of biobanks and the capabilities of collecting, storing, and using cells and tissues for research purposes have noticeably grown. With new abilities come new challenges to ethical questions of consent, specifically concerning genetic information, and unanticipated usage. This paper summarizes these issues in the context of levels of informed consent, subject risk, individual vs. societal benefits, anonymity, legal consensus.
