Abstract

PRINSEN, Larisse. Reconsidering consent for biomedical research using human biological material and associated data. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.11-12, pp.1-4. ISSN 1996-7489.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/15853.

SIGNIFICANCE: Consent, in the context of biomedical research, biotechnology and the use of human biological material and associated data, is examined here, and it is demonstrated that informed and broad consent do not constitute valid consent. Dynamic consent is introduced as a viable alternative. New science requires new models of consent and this Commentary introduces such a model so that consent may become future-flexible.

Keywords : biomedical research; biotechnology; consent; dynamic consent; human biological material.
