| Research Abstract |
A summary of the conclusions on this research is the followings : First, the philosophical-theological concept of "Human dignity" is not connotatively identical with the political concept of "Rights" although these two concepts had been seen as denotatively equivalent in the middle of the 20centry. In addition, unlike "Value," "Human dignity" cannot be weighed against any other. Secondarily, it is unavoidable for induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) research, which has been said to overcome moral issues, to become a complicity in the moral issue after all. Moreover, bioethics as interdisciplinary study was just an apparatus for forging ahead with biotechnology. Third, there is a selective affinity in some way between contemporary "somatic ethics" and the spirit of "bio-capitalism", both of which came out at the end of the 20centry.
