Legal approach for informed consent and donation of biological samples to biobanks for biomedical research: A glance to Spain Bombillar Sáenz, Francisco Miguel Informed consent Donation of biological samples Biobanks Biomedical research Blanket consent 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. 2022-09-27T07:50:26Z 2022-09-27T07:50:26Z 2018 book part F.
