| Research Abstract |
It was essential for scientists to disclose all data for citizens to get public acceptance to practice studies such as the Recombinant of DNA in Harvard University case. It is also inevitable in Japan. In Japan,according my researches and hearings, there are deep cliffs between doctors' arrogance and citizens' common sense. Doctors sometimes have strong antipathy against citizens' ignorance and try to persuade patient's farmily of his brain-death and to succeed in organ-transplant in the van of competition. It will be against Japanese traditional feeling of life and death, and it is not an irrational allergy at all. The organ-transplant will cost much money of the recipient of his own, so there will be another type of discrimination. Doctors should do much more important practice such as to overcome cancer and to develop artificial organs, recovering the original principle of Hippocratic Oath. In conclusion, I think, mumbers from various fields should openly participate in the ethical Board of Universities, and discuss the matters more deeply.
