Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to explore the due process of using dead bodies, present laws of both Japan and United States were examined supplemented by legal and bioethical periodical research. Additionally, to understand practical reality in the use of bodies such as cadaver training for surgical training purposes and research on ancient human remains, interviews of experts in medical science and related business management, museum administrators, anthropologists, and archaeologists, were conducted during two summer visits of universities, museums, and laboratories in the United States. In conclusion, the due process for donors including the deceased, their surviving families, and affiliated Native American communities, should not only be found in the law of consent and notification but also in the trust developed upon continuous efforts of dialogue and collaboration between the science community of those in need of bodies for research and the non-science community as the source for such bodies.
