The editors of the Philosophy and Medicine series recognize with
grat itude the foresight, understanding, hard labor, and patience
of Prof. Kazumasa Hoshino. It is his perseverance that has made
this volume a reality. It was his faith in ideas that brought
together a cluster of scholars in Tokyo on September 2-4, 1994, at
Sophia University for a U. S. -J apan Bioethics Congress. With the
support of the Foundation for Advance ment of International
Science, the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership, the
Foundation of Thanatology, the Japanese Center for Quality of Life
Studies, and Sophia University, scholars from Canada, Germany,
Japan, and the United States were able to explore the differ ences
and similarities in their approaches to bioethics and health care
policy. That conference first produced a volume through Shibunkaku
Publishers of Kyoto that appeared in 1995 in J apanese: The Dignity
of Death, edited by Kazumasa Hoshino. Selections from those
materials have been reworked for an English audience and now
appear, along with new essays, in this volume. The field of
comparative bioethics is only in its infancy. We are deeply
grateful to Prof. Kazumasa Hoshino, one of the fathers of J apanese
bioethics, for having made this volume possible. H. Tristram
Engelhardt, Jr. Stuart F. Spicker Vll ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This
volume's editors and Kluwer Academic Publishers wish to thank
Shibunkaku Press, Kyoto, Japan, for permission to publish, without
charge, essays derived from the U. S."
