生物样本库研究有可能返回对参与者有益甚至挽救生命的结果。这种可能性提出了一些重要的问题，不仅涉及在研究环境中返回结果的道德义务，还涉及参与者拒绝结果的权利以及研究人员尊重这种选择的责任。本文主张采用结果返回政策，限制参与者拒绝临床相关且可操作结果的能力。我们声明，只有当捐赠者了解并同意这一退货政策时，生物样本库才应允许他们。如果他们不同意，他们保留不参与生物样本库研究的选择。本文的目的是讨论支持这种结果返回政策的实际和道德原因，从而强调“诚实”在生物样本库监管中的重要性。
Biobank research has the potential to return results that could have beneficial and even life-saving consequences for participants. This possibility raises some important questions, not only about the ethical duty to return results within a research setting, but also about participants' right to refuse results and researchers' responsibility to respect that choice. This article argues in favor of adopting a return-of-results policy that limits participants' ability to refuse clinically relevant and actionable results. We state that biobanks should allow donors only if they are aware of and agree to this return policy. If they do not agree to this, they retain the option not to participate in the biobank research. The aim of this article is to discuss the practical and ethical reasons in favor of this return-of-result policy and, thus, to underline the importance of “honesty” in biobanking regulations.
