Respecting donors to biobank research

Respecting donors to biobank research

Tom Tomlinson. Hastings Cent Rep. 2013 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

The most common way for people to consent to research with their banked biological material is through signing a blanket consent, which allows any future use, giving the donor no information or control. This does not respect the donor or the philosophy if donation.
