“…Presenting TE as restricted to therapeutic applications is therefore inappropriate if one looks at it from the perspective of the donor. If the information on the future use cannot be provided, the various possibilities should be pointed out and prospective donors enabled to express restrictions (Schulz-Baldes et al 2007). …”

“…Whether we allow individuals to exploit their inherited biological 'riches' depends on how we appreciate the cells' relational and material value (Björkman 2006;Schulz-Baldes et al 2007). TE generates an extensive network of relationships because it requires the involvement of intermediaries like cell banks and TE facilities who actively contribute to the creation of the HTEP.…”

The importance of the values attached to cells for a good informed consent procedure in cell donation for tissue engineering purposes

In this article the scope and contents of informed consent for cell donation in tissue engineering are discussed. We evaluate the various values donors may attach to cells and that may influence their decision to donate. Awareness of the various meanings of the value of the cells is therefore essential for all involved in cell transfer. We discuss four types of value: biological, relational, material and informational value and discuss their relevance for collection, for the relationships that are established between donor and cell collector and for informed consent procedures. The actual setting of cell donation and the contents of informed consent can either maintain or disrupt these relationships. While one can exclude donors from any further say in the destination of their cells and from any financial return, one cannot exclude them from a persistent interest in the genetic information of the cells.

“…For this reason, the lack of ethical guidance and the existence of unmonitored or unregulated human tissue procurement and distribution represent a serious international risk to both donors and recipients of cells and tissues. (Schulz-Baldes et al 2007) Tissue banking implicates a variety of ethical concerns pertaining to such values as dignity, bodily integrity, autonomy and privacy, among others. These ethical concerns have been translated into a complex and incoherent apparatus of private and public, national and international standards and provisions.…”

The importance of ethic in the field of human tissue banking

Cell Tissue Bank

A tissue bank is accountable before the community in fulfilling the expectations of tissue donors, their families and recipients. The expected output from the altruistic donation is that safe and high quality human tissue grafts will be provided for the medical treatment of patients. Thus, undertakings of tissue banks have to be not only authorised and audited by national competent health care authorities, but also comply with a strong ethical code, a code of practices and ethical principles. Ethical practice in the field of tissue banking requires the setting of principles, the identification of possible deviations and the establishment of mechanisms that will detect and hinder abuses that may occur during the procurement, processing and distribution of human tissues for transplantation. The opinions and suggestions manifested by the authors in this paper may not be necessarily a reflection of those within the institutions or community they are linked to.

“…Great care would need to be taken to avoid negative implications for the blood supply for medical purposes. And clearly, assuming blood will remain a scarce resource, use should be prioritised according to medical need [8]. Enhancement would have to be last in line.…”
