[Law 2287 of 2023 on biobanks in Colombia: A bioethical reflection on its scope].

The growing scientific and biotechnological interest in biobanks highlights the need to establish guidelines that allow for important scientific advances and guarantee the rights of the donors of biological samples and their associated data. In line with this need, on January 13, 2023, the Congress of Colombia enacted Law 2287 on biobanks, beginning a path that other countries have followed for almost 25 years. As a result, new questions Will arise that are beyond the scope of this regulation and transcend bioethical conflicts. This manuscript aims to summarize key aspects of the mentioned law and reflects on its scope from bioethics, the ethics of biomedical research, and other bioethical currents or theories.
