Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Soft law is a type of laws which are often used to cope with ethical problems in various areas. The purpose of this research was to explore the significance of soft law in the area of advanced medical technologies from its theoretical as well as practical aspects. The results of research have been limited, only with elucidations in the following three respects. First, soft law in bio-ethical areas is a law without efficacy, but surely is a commitment to forming a fair order by regulating ethically. Second, soft law is, as an effective means to form a social order, related to other forms of law in the integral structure that has multiple layers from hard to soft laws. Third, however, it always involves some ethical risks of cheating, pressing and inducing because "soft" means "ambiguous" so that unethical elements could slip into the legal process in some ways or another. This research is just the beginning that should be followed by further ones regarding bio-medical soft law.
