The aim of this paper is to address the legal approach of the informed consent and the donation of biological samples to a biobank for biomedical research under the Spanish regulation. It is argued that it is not possible to hide in consents full of lawless and indeterminate terms for elaborating a kind of blank cheque in order to carry out any research based on biological samples. This consent model would disobey the ethical and legal provisions ruling this sector, the right of all humans to decide on their own body integrity and on the destination of their biological samples.
