There has been considerable debate on which genomic research results to return to participants and when those results should be returned, but little attention to how those results should be returned, especially to minority and culturally diverse participants. This paper explores the cultural and ethical considerations around returning research results to participants and families of culturally diverse backgrounds, with a special focus on considerations when the research participant is deceased, and raises points for further discussion.
关于哪些基因组研究结果应反馈给参与者以及何时反馈这些结果,一直存在大量争论,但对于这些结果应如何反馈,尤其是对少数群体和文化背景多样的参与者,却很少有人关注。本文探讨了向文化背景多样的参与者及其家庭反馈研究结果时的文化和伦理考量,特别关注研究参与者去世时的相关考量,并提出了有待进一步讨论的要点。
