Outline of Final Research Achievements

We, specialists of philosophy or laws, have surveyed and researched the way of dealing with the rights of patient in several foreign countries. Especially, the subjects of our research were concentrated on the problems of the rights of terminal patient. Examining the propositions of law concerning the rights of patient that had already been made in our country, we considered from the points of view of philosophy and jurisprudence the way of dealing with the rights of patient not only in Benelux, where the euthanasia is admitted legally, but in America, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, POK, Taiwan, and so on. Besides, understanding also the rights of patient as those of human, we have considered what the bioethics should think in order to protect the rights of human being ranging from human genome, human embryo to brain dead patient. We published three collections of materials that contained all results of our research.
