“…Sec 210). Almost half of the states in the US have fetal research statutes; 12 either prohibit or seriously restrict general scientific research in utero , and 18 prohibit it ex utero (NCSL 2008; Andrews 1994, 1993). In 1988 President Reagan issued a moratorium on federal funding for fetal tissue transplantation research.…”

For biomedical research in which the only involvement of the human subject is the provision of tissue or organ samples, a blanket consent, i.e. consent to use the tissue for anything researchers wish to do, is considered by many to be adequate for legal and IRB requirements. Alternatively, a detailed informed consent provides patients or study participants with more thorough information about the research topic. We document here the beliefs and opinions of the research staff on informed consent and the discussion-based reflexive research ethics process that we employed in our fetal tissue xenotransplantion research on the impact of environmental exposures on fetal development. Reflexive research ethics entails the continued adjustment of research practice according to relational and reflexive understandings of what might be beneficent or harmful. Such reflexivity is not solely an individual endeavor, but rather a collective relationship between all actors in the research process.
