BRain Archive Information Network (BRAIN UK)

大约五年前，在尸检后保留大脑和脑组织样本的问题引起了公众的高度关注，这导致了相当多的负面宣传。然而，现在，这一过程已经过仔细审查，并以《人体组织法》的形式通过了一项新法律。这为合法和道德地使用保留的脑组织样本用于研究目的开辟了道路，以实现所有人的潜在利益。人们希望，英国大脑将被视为公众密切关注人体组织的保留和使用的积极结果。

The retention of brains and brain tissue samples following post mortem examinations came to have a very high public profile about 5 years ago, and this resulted in a considerable amount of adverse publicity. Now, however, the process has been scrutinised and a new law has been passed in the form of the Human Tissue Act. This opens the way to the legal and ethical use of retained brain tissue samples for research purposes for the potential benefit of all. It is to be hoped that BRAIN UK will be seen as a positive outcome of the close public scrutiny of the retention and use of human tissues.
