Abstract:
As biological sample biobanks progressively demonstrate their significant value in the field of biomedical research， they also pose challenges to existing social norms and ethical rules， making the normative issue of informed consent of participants highly concerned. The current research has insufficient exploration of informed consent in the collection， preservation， utilization， and other links of the sample. In response to the complexity and diversity of each link， it is advocated to refine informed consent strategies to ensure comprehensive protection of participants’ rights and interests. Given the continuity and dynamism of informed consent， it is recommended to establish a flexible review mechanism to address changes in research content， increased risks， and changes in participant capabilities， ensuring the ethical legitimacy of the research and the autonomy in making decisions of participants. Meanwhile， it is emphasized to fully confirm informed consent before sample entry into the bank， adopt suitable consent forms for outbound utilization and waste disposal， and pay special attention to ethical and legal issues related to human genetic resources.
