B illions of biospecimens are stored in the USA and around the world. Together with associated clinical data, these specimens offer an “invaluable resource for current and future research.” 1 To realize this potential, many hospitals and clinics retain biospecimens left over from clinical care and make them available for research. 1 Increasingly, this practice is being implemented by means of a mandate which gives prospective patients the choice of allowing their left-over samples to be retained, or seeking care elsewhere. The present manuscript evaluates whether this practice represents an appropriate way to maximize the social value of biorepositories or a failure to respect patients appropriately.
