Abstract

The chapter presents a careful comparative study on ethical and legal aspects of human biobanks both in Europe and elsewhere. The rapid expansion of human DNA sampling and data collection has taken place in the last few years, but the legal and ethical perception of this situation looks very different in European countries and beyond. The author focuses her attention on the European Union, especially in Estonia, where a population wide gene back has been established; moreover, she also discusses what is happening in Macedonia, a relatively neglected country in Eastern Europe, as well as Australia, India and Israel.
