moreEthical evaluation of genomic studies is increasingly emphasized as a method to solve ethical difficulties in research. Research ethics committees (RECs) however, have their own specific problems, and especially the renewed use of existing personal data and bodily material has created a need for further guidance (Arnason, Nordal, and Arnason, 2004; NBAC, 1999; Beskow, Burke, and Merz et al., 2001, ALRC, 2003). researchers, on the other hand, are concerned that ethical evaluation will impede important genomic research (Arnason, Nordal, and Arnason, 2004).
