Biobanking: Relational obligations.
The nature of the relationship between the donor and donee within a biobanking framework is complex and dynamic. Issues such as ownership, rights and benefits often influence outcomes and access for researchers. In New Zealand, a raft of soft and hard law measures exist unconvincingly to govern this relationship. This article examines the current legislative provisions in New Zealand and explores possible avenues such as dynamic and broad consent, equity and contract that may provide a more appropriate framework for biobanking donors and donees.
