In recent years, advancements in biotechnology have propelled scientific research to unprecedented heights, particularly in the realm of brain organoid research. Brain organoids, three-dimensional miniature models of the human brain derived from stem cells, hold immense potential for understanding brain development, disease modeling, and drug testing. However, the ethical implications of brain organoid research, particularly concerning the acquisition and use of biospecimens, have sparked significant debate. Informed consent, a fundamental ethical principle, plays a pivotal role in navigating this complex landscape. This essay delves into the perspectives of donors regarding informed consent and the use of biospecimens for brain organoid research, examining the ethical considerations and future implications of this groundbreaking field. Informed consent is the cornerstone of ethical research involving human subjects.
