| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The limits of the physician's duty for medical treatments has been discussed with the different two criteria. The free will of patients and the best medical treatments. The former has reached to the rights to medically assisted suicide in the tendency of new liberalism. The latter has operated in the latest pandemic emergency for the equitable allocation of medical resources.
After the Constitutional Court decision on the case of DJ Fabo in 2019, passing through the crisis situation of medical breakdown, Italian medical jurisprudence has articulated to provide protection for the human life and the vulnerabilities at least, whereas respecting the free will of patients, but making no concessions on the free will incompatible with medical ethics and deontology. In other words, it has demonstrated clearly the ethical value based on the rights to liberty and the traditional common value promoted by medical deontology aiming at the best medical practice.

治療義務の限界をめぐる議論は、日本の学術界では主に患者の自由意思の視点からなされている。しかし患者の自由意思の無批判的な尊重は、最善の医療の提供を職業義務とする医師の倫理と相容れない。
パンデミックや地球温暖化によって危機にさらされている生命と健康を護るために、個々人がそれぞれの場所でプラネタリー・ヘルスを構築する取り組みが様々な形で本格化している今日の世界情勢に照らしても、医師の職業倫理という共通の視点からの考察は不可欠である。自由診療を基本とする米国の医療とは異なり、堅固な公的医療制度を発展させてきた日本の医療は貴重な模範となりうる。イタリアでの議論はその参考になる。
