For decades, biobanking has been held up as an essential research tool. While few doubt the scientific value of having catalogues of well-characterized tissues, cells, and other samples, these research platforms have also generated a significant amount of legal and moral controversy, especially in the context of consent and the control of research samples.
Throughout the world, billions of public and private dollars have been invested in biobanks and millions of individuals have been asked to donate biological material and personal information. But, at the same time, there remains deep uncertainty about fundamental legal and moral norms.
Legal scholars have argued that the most commonly used form of consent—that is, broad or open consent—does not adhere to relevant legal norms, which would seem to require a more comprehensive and specific approach to the consent process. Because the details of future work cannot be known, this approach means providing research participants with far less information than is traditionally disclosed (披露) in the case of specific consent.
It is true that many studies have consistently found that, for the most part, the public supports biobanking initiatives and trusts the research community. But that support and trust are fragile. There are many social forces, such as the increasing involvement of industry in biobanking initiatives, which could erode public confidence. In addition, there are a number of social trends that may heighten public interest in the control of human biological material. Research ethics controversies can have a profound effect on public perceptions and consent policy.
An emerging interest in biorights, though not widespread, could also challenge the existing approaches of biobanking. Indeed, areas such as genetics (遗传学) and stem cell research receive a great deal of positive coverage in the popular press, including reference to the economic potential of the work.
Within the scientific community it has become widely accepted that biobanks are an indispensable research tool, essential for picking out complex gene-environment interactions. There is little doubt that biobanking is here to stay. But we need to recognize that despite decades of academic debate, fundamental legal and moral challenges remain.
What can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、The future of biobanking seems to be bright and promising.
B、Stem cell research has become the focus of biobanking research.
C、People have shifted their interest to biorights instead of research.
D、The economic potential of biobanking research should be emphasized.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。首句提到,人们开始对生物权利感兴趣;接着第二句指出:事实上,遗传学和干细胞研究等领域在热点新闻中获得了很多积极的报道,包括此类工作的潜在经济性。由此可知,人们对生物银行研究的兴趣越来越大,出现了很多正面的宣传,看起来前途光明,充满希望,故答案为A)。B)“干细胞研究成为生物银行研究的焦点”,文中只提到遗传学和干细胞研究等领域在热点新闻中获得了很多积极的报道,无法得出干细胞研究是重点的结论,故排除;C)“人们的兴趣从研究转向生物权利”,该段首句提到人们开始对生物权利感兴趣,虽然不具有普遍性,但也可能挑战生物银行的现行方式,第二句又举例说明生物银行研究领域的现状,显然两者不是非此即彼的关系,故排除;D)“应该强调生物银行研究的经济潜力”,文中没有提及应该重点关注其经济潜力的信息,故排除。
