| Research Abstract |
AFTER HAVING CONDUCTED SEVERAL SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION AND AFTER HAVING VISITED SEVERAL INSTITUTES CONCERNING BIOETHICS SUCH AS MEDICAL ETHICS COMMITTEE, TOKUSHIMA UNIVERSITY, HEART SURGERY SECTION, MEDICAL SCHOOL OF OSAKA UNIVERSITY, THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CIRCULATORY ORGAN AT OSAKA, MEDICAL ELECTORONICS DEPARTMENT OF TOKYO UNIVERSITY, AND OTHERS, WE HAD TWO BIG SYMPOSIA ON BIOETHICS. FIRST, WE HAD A SYMPOSIUM IN FEBRUARY, 1987 MAINLY BY PHILOSOPHERS. HERE, WE DISCUSSED POSSIBLE NEW WAYS OF BIOETHICS IN THE PRESENT JAPAN. AND WE AFFIRMED THAT THERE EXISTED TWO WAYS OF ETHICS, ONE WAS IDEALISTIC AND ANOTHER WAS UTILITARIAN. BOTH ARE STILL ANTAGONISTIC TO EACH OTHER IN JAPANESE MENTAL STRUCTURE, AND IT IS URGENT FOR JAPANESE TO RECONCILE THEM IN A PROPER WAY.
THE SECOND FORUM WAS HELD IN NOVEMBER, 1987, IN THE INTERDISCIPIINARY SCALE CONSISTING OF MEDICAL SCIENTISTS, IURISTS, OTHER THAN PHILOSOPHERS. HERE IS DISCUSSED ABOUT RATHER HEURISTIC PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE BRAIN DEATH, HEATH PLANTATION, IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, GENE OPERATIONS AND ALSO ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MANKIND.
THE VIGEST MERITS OF THIS STUDY WAS THAT IT RESULTED THE ORGANIZING THE NEW ACADEMIC SOCIETY FOR BIOETHICS "JAPAN ASSOCIATION FOR BIOETHICS" IN NOVEMBER, 1988. THIS ASSOCIATION WAS ORGANIZED BY THE CORE MEMBERS OF OUR RESEACH GROUP, AND COLLECTED MORE THAN 300 PROMOTERS FROM INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELDS, AND IT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME THE CENTER OF THE RESEARCH ON BIOETHICS.
