| Research Abstract |
In bioethics some treatments on which all participants including the patient consent are prohibited on the grounds that society feels strong fear against them while finding it difficult to give articulate reasons why. Such apparently irrational social feeling may be a product of long evolutionary process of human beings. So it is unwise to reject all such prohibitions in favor of self-determination. There are cases in which we should let individual's autonomy circumscribed by the social fear of unknown consequences.
