Abstract
RECENT ADVANCES in genetic and biomedical technologies have dramatically increased the scientific value of the hundreds of millions of human tissue and blood samples stored in laboratories across the country and around the world.1,2 This increased value has engendered a continuing debate over whether investigators should be required to obtain individuals' informed consent before conducting research on stored biological samples.3-9This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
