Full-scale Bioethics research began in America around 1970, a
decade later America introduced it into Japan. More recently
Japanese researchers have realised the growing necessity to
evaluate Bioethics more objectively. The principles and policies
concerning Bioethics differ between countries. In particular,
considerable discrepancies have been occurring between Japanese
medical practices and the principles of Bioethics originally
imported from America. This has lead to the need for a close
investigation into the Japanese approach to Bioethics.
Despite this however, there are currently only a few researchers
studying the Japanese approach to Bioethics. This interdisciplinary
anthology uniquely provides a significant examination of the
'Bioethics from Japan' by considering Japanese views from various
aspects, such as life and death, dignity, family and care. The
authors of this volume believe that in establishing their own
approach to Bioethics each country will increase the practicality
of this discipline and, by doing so, will aid the search for the
universal elements in Bioethics.
The members of the Kumamoto University Bioethics Research Group
have published a number of books on Bioethics in Japan over the
past decade and in doing so have been preparing for the production
of this anthology. The contributors of this volume are both current
and former faculty members at Kumamoto University; a well-known
institute for Minamata Disease and the volume contains essays
written specifically in relation to this area of research.
