Abstract
AbstractWhile pediatric biobanks are a precious resource for scientific research to improve our understanding of genetic pathologies, the value of these studies should be considered together with the value of the privacy rights of pediatric donors, as they are particularly vulnerable and in many cases unable to discern the meaning of the donation of biological material and the related implications of the research. Thus this work calls for reflection on the numerous ethical and legal issues involved in the development and regulation of these biobanks. In particular, it explores what form of consent best balances the intangible rights of the minor, on the one hand, and the development of technological progress and scientific research, on the other, and examines the implications of the collection of biological material of minors in biobanks. It focuses on solutions to bridge the gaps in current Italian legislation, especially in light of the current lack of attention to the interests of fragile subjects. In addition, this work presents an overview of the pediatric biobanks in Italy.
