• Overview the establishment of

Taiwan Bio-bank

-Issues about ELSI

Ⅰ. Introduction

  • For the purpose of thoroughly understand various kinds of the phenomenon of human body, large-scale data bases about tissue of human body have gradually been set up
  • At the same period of striding the biotechnology era worldwide, Taiwan also start its own program, that is, island of biotechnology plan

. Characteristics of Gene Message

  • Gene is a section of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) with particular function, which is the fundamental unit of creature cell, could be handed down from generation to generation
  • According to the international announcement of gene data released by UNESCO, the information carried by gene has totally four characteristics (7/8)

. Characteristics of Gene Message

  • firstly, anticipation of personal gene structure;
  • secondly, immense potential influence to

population, family, offspring;

  • thirdly, important information hided in gene

may not know before collection;

  • fourth, gene is of great importance to group’s

culture of individual.

. Establishment of Gene Data Base

  • At this point, deeper research needs a large

number of research specimens.

  • Moreover, only when we have a great quantity

of specimen and statistical data, the

relationship of gene, situation and disease

could be known by the accurate count.

. Establishment of Gene Data Base

  • And then, providing a large number of gene

specimen for comparing is the mainly function

of gene data base.

  • Following the establishment of gene data base,

the focusing center of physical gene research

is to spread the research from individual to

the whole population.

Ⅲ. Establishment of Gene Data

Base

  • the advanced countries are proceeding to

have their own program of gene data base,

which is for the purpose of understanding

various diseases caused by living custom, and

hoping to develop the tactics of anticipating

diseases happen, develop new medicine and

therapy

Ⅳ Profile of Taiwan’s

Development

  • In order to promote Taiwan’s domestic research level of biotechnology, highest level of executive branch has invited central research institute, scientific commission, hygiene office, economic department and research institute of hygiene to plan together for the program of Biotechnology Island
  • Taiwan Bio-bank is playing an important role in it

Ⅳ Profile of Taiwan’s

Development

  • For legitimacy and morality concerns,

feasibility study will mainly focus on the

design of procedure and evaluation of result

without collecting any human tissue.

  • Summary :

this article centers Informed Consent,

Protection of Privacy, Benefit Sharing and

Public Participation, to survey the disputing

topics and observe Taiwan’s recent legislation,

especially if such legislation is following the

regulations of UNESCO.

  • Informed Consent :

1.Informed Consent is one of the popular principles of medical treatment and morality. In the early, this principle is for esteeming and protecting the people who participate in medicine research, especially the human body experimentation. Before the experimentation, the researchers must tell the people about the details and obtain the consent.

  • 2.The principle of Informed Consent is sometimes discussed under the field of medical treatment conduct in Taiwan. However, the utilizing part of genetic information was less to touch upon. 3.To think of the specific announced before, this causes a lot of dispute in how to apply the principle of Informed Consent. The crucial reasons are about: who should be informed; what is the scope of authorizing consent.

  • 6.At this point, we may infer that the opinion of UNESCO about the procedure of decision is mostly the Individual Autonomy. If the character of the research is for specific population, Group Autonomy can be used as a necessary procedure

  • 7.Some scholar introduced the concept of Group Consent when Individual Consent is easily making dispute, believing if the analysis of genetic information is by the unite of peculiar population, the achievements of research making out benefits or injure are related to all the population. So the Group Consent of mass people is the most difficult challenge. 8.Therefore, if this is realized, it’s obvious more strict than regulations of UNESCO.
