Abstract
Innovations in laboratory and information technologies continue to drive the expansion of pediatric biorepository research, with collections of biosamples and data continuing to grow in scale and scope. In this review, we examine the trajectory of recent developments in ethical and legal scholarship on consent to pediatric biorepository research. We focus, in particular, on issues that are likely to grow in importance in coming years, either because significant controversies remain or because they represent trends that are likely to continue into the future. Of particular interest is the evolving conception of consent as a process, the trend toward increased participant engagement and other challenges likely to raise thorny new issues in this field in the decade ahead.
