Abstract
"This article examines the conception of IC, its limitations and exceptions, especially in research context. The author makes a distinction between two different notions of exception of IC- exception from IC and exemption from IC- and their respective default positions. It is argued that, on the one hand, we should loosen the requirement of IC and choose a default of “obtaining IC but not in certain circumstances” in some situations such as emergency research. On the other hand, we should choose a default of “no need to obtain IC unless in certain circumstances” in some situations such as epidemiological researches using medical records with minimal risk or no linkage to patients’ identity. The question which one of the two defaults should be chosen at other particular situation should depend on the trade- off between individual autonomy and public interest."
