Donor participation is a critical part of ensuring the development of human microbiome research and the clinical application of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Most FMT donors are still not sufficiently aware of the risks associated with the act of donating gut microbiota, especially the risk of data privacy disclosure. Enhanced awareness of the moral responsibility of the researchers and ethical oversight by ethics committees are needed.
供体参与是确保人类微生物组研究发展和粪便微生物群移植(FMT)临床应用的关键部分。大多数FMT供体仍未充分意识到捐赠肠道微生物群行为所带来的风险,尤其是数据隐私泄露的风险。需要提高研究人员的道德责任感,并加强伦理委员会的伦理监督。
