This belief is codified in several national and European documents. This so-called 'no-property rule' is held to be the default position across the countries of the European Union. However, a closer look at the most pertinent national and European documents, and also current practices in the field, reveals a gradual model of commercialisation of human tissue. In particular, we will argue that the ban on commercialisation of body material is not as strict as it may appear at first sight, leaving room for the commercial practice of tissue procurement and transfer. We argue for more transparent information for patients and tissue donors, an intensified ethical debate on commercialisation practices, and a critical review of current normative principles."],["dc.description.sponsorship","European Union"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1136/jme.2010.038760"],["dc.identifier.isi","000304447500004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21697294"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9097"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26386"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","B M J Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","0306-6800"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Is the commercialisation of human tissue and body material forbidden in the countries of the European Union?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, although a national legal framework for 'biobanking' has already been formulated in many countries, little is known about how an international exchange of data and samples might affect the legal position of national biobanks and their donors. The German Telematics Platform and the Competence Network 'Congenital Heart Defects' jointly instigated a project(BMB-EUCoop) to (i) identify and assess the legal risks ensuing for biobanks and their donors in the context of Europe-wide research collaborations, (ii) devise practical recommendations to minimize or avoid these risks, and (iii) provide generic informational text, contracts and agreements to facilitate their practical implementation. Four different countries were included in the study; namely, the UK, Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. The results of the study indicate that the degree of similarity between legal systems in different countries varies according to the respective field of jurisdiction. Although personality and property rights have long been enshrined in virtually identical pieces of law, the applicable medical professional regulations were found to be somewhat heterogeneous. Furthermore, clear-cut differences were often found to be lacking between regulations that reflect either 'soft law' or the nationally binding 'hard law' that has emerged from it. In view of the potential ambiguities, the experts uniformly concluded that the rights and interests of national (in this case, German) biobanks and their donors would be best protected by explicitly addressing any uncertainties in formal contractual agreements.

The current study has been designed to document and evaluatedecisions of chairpersons of RECs in the problematic field of non-therapeutic research with minors. Theauthors’ purpose was to examine whether non-therapeutic research was acceptable for chairpersons atall, and whether there was certainty on how to decide in research trials involving more than minimal risk.Design: In a questionnaire, REC chairpersons had to evaluate five different scenarios with (in parts) nontherapeuticresearch. The scenarios described realistic potential research projects with minors, involvingincreasing levels of risk for the research participants. The chairpersons had to decide whether therespective projects should be approved.Methods: A total of 49 German REC chairpersons were sent questionnaires; 29 questionnaires werereturned. The main measurements were approval or rejection of research scenarios.Results: Chairpersons of German RECs generally tend to accept non-therapeutic research with minors ifthe apparent risk for the participating children is low. If the risk is clearly higher than ‘‘minimal’’, thechairpersons’ decisions differ widely.Conclusion: The fact that there seem to be different attitudes of chairpersons to non-therapeutic researchwith minors is problematic from an ethical point of view. It suggests a general uncertainty about thestandards of protection for minor research participants in Germany. Therefore, further ethical and legalregulation of non-therapeutic research with minors in Germany seems necessary."],["dc.format.mimetype","application/pdf"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1136/jme.2003.005900"],["dc.identifier.fs","17497"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146746"],["dc.identifier.pmid","14872082"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?goescholar/4135"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/9420"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0306-6800"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject","REC, research ethics committee"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Non-therapeutic research with minors: how do chairpersons of German research ethics committees decide?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Damit deutet sich zugleich ein Paradigmenwechsel in der Leistungsallokation an - weg von der gleichmäßigen Versorgung in der Fläche, hin zur Konzentration auf spezialisierte Zentren - dessen ethische Implikationen noch unklar sind. Einerseits erhofft man sich eine Reduzierung der Kosten im Bereich der stationären Krankenversorgung. Andererseits ist fraglich, ob diese Kostenreduktion nicht zu einer schlechteren Versorgung von multimorbiden und chronisch kranken Patienten führt. Das neue System dürfte zwar dem aktiven, autonom entscheidenden Patienten entgegenkommen, der ein Mehr an Informationen aus den geplanten Qualitätsberichten nutzt, um für sich ein Maximum an hochwertigen medizinischen Dienstleistungen zu realisieren. Auf der anderen Seite könnte das neue System aber Patientengruppen benachteiligen, die zur aktiven Nutzung solcher Informationen nicht oder weniger gut in der Lage sind.

Our own experiences are positive, which is in accordance with the reports of other working groups. Most of the students were interested in education in medical ethics and looked upon ethical training as being an important part of their studies. Medical students are interested in ethical education during the clinical period of their studies, which has been taken into account since the actual change of the curriculum.
