Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Collections of Genetic Heritage: The Legal, Ethical and Practical Considerations of a Dynamic Consent Approach to Decision Making.

Prictor, M ; Huebner, S ; Teare, H ; Burchill, L ; Kaye, J (SAGE Publications, 2020)

The article considers whether a Dynamic Consent (DC) approach might be adopted with cultural leadership to support communication, education, deliberation and flexible choices by First Peoples. It posits that the DC model can provide for autonomous and informed choice by donors and their descendants about the treatment of individual samples, cognizant of both the samples’ value for future research and their profound personal and cultural meaning.
