Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied ‘Doctor’s Discretion versus Patient's Rights of Self-determination’ in the highly advanced medicine. We considered them from the viewpoints of the scientific medicine, bioethics, medical sociology, medical law, and medical philosophy, and mainly argued about many " ethical and social controlling factors of the doctor’s discretion and promoting factors of the patients’ rights of self-determination. We concluded as follows; "It is necessary to restrain the former, and to raise the latter because the doctors’ discretion have been too strong.
"The spread of the literacy of medical ethics" and "the establishment of ethical codes of healthcare professionals" need to be urgently realized. Based on the achievement, we have made a lots of conference presentations and paper submissions to the related academic societies and we are going to publish a textbook to healthcare professionals to raise their literacy of medical ethics this year.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

「高度先端医療における医師の裁量」について生命倫理・医事法・医療社会学の複合的視点に社会調査の結果を加味しつつ考察・探究し,通常医療だけでなく、高度先端医療における医療者、特に医師の裁量権の強さの問題点を改めて世に問うことができる。また、患者側が医療者の説明義務を満たした情報開示に基づいて、自己決定権を有用に担保できることが必要であることを改めて強調し、今後の高度先端医療における患者ー医療者関係の望ましい構築に向けて役立つものと考えるものである。
