| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The theme of this study is about the widespread use of artificial reproductive technology(ART) and family relationship. I surveyed Japanese law and policy about people of gender identity disorder and their usage of donor insemination in recent years. And if we took gamete made from iPS cells into ART, we must consider the children’s welfare who forced join into medical study before they were born, through reviewing the history of the reproductive technology.
Also I studied direct to consumer DNA paternity testing that has recently become more widely available in Japan. If we come to the conclusion that DNA test results are the only way to conclusively establish a parent-child relationship, then our society may prioritize even more genetic relatedness over other conceptions of a parent-child relationship. This prioritization could adversely affect families created through ART, especially in situations where children are not aware of their biological parentage.
