The privacy of people who donate tissue and DNA for research in Britain
should be protected by a panel of experts, says a House of Lords committee. The
Medical Data Panel would vet all research proposals on donated DNA. 鈥淭hey鈥檇 be
almost acting as trustees for the data,鈥� says Ron Oxburgh, chairman of the House
of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology, which launched a report on
genetic databases last week. Oxburgh says that the panel would be constantly
changing its members to ensure its judgements reflected the moral tone of the
time.
