| Research Abstract |
Self-determination is a central concept in the field of bioethics and the most critical decision among the myriad of decisions concerning medical care is the decision to choose to die ; "self-determination of death." The purpose of this research is to clarify the basic positions on self-determination of death held by present Japanese people and we tentatively sorted these positions into 10 arguments. They included "Self-determination is incapable of existing," "Self-determination is not desired," "Self-determination does not apply to death," "Self-determination of death cannot be realized," "Respecting self-determination of death inflicts harm on others," "Self-determination of death is forced upon the patient," "Life is always most important," "Self-determination of death is recognized only under certain conditions," "Self-determination of death is for another's benefit," "Self-determination of death should be recognized." We discuss the problems and implications of these positions revealed within our present review and conclude that a society needs to deny unnecessary intrusion and tolerance for different views might be a keyword in our oncoming society.
In the second year, we also investigated Japanese bioethics scholars' attitudes toward medical research, health science, healthcare, and society. Literature review revealed that Japanese scholars shared common ideas in terms of research ethics and the importance of research subjects' informed consent. On the other hand, various thoughts and perceptions were observed regarding the relationship between medical progress and the happiness of people.
