Why would a country strongly influenced by Buddhism's reverence
for life allow legalized, widely used abortion? Equally puzzling to
many Westerners is the Japanese practice of "mizuko" rites, in
which the parents of aborted fetuses pray for the well-being of
these rejected "lives." In this provocative investigation, William
LaFleur examines abortion as a window on the culture and ethics of
Japan. At the same time he contributes to the Western debate on
abortion, exploring how the Japanese resolve their conflicting
emotions privately and avoid the pro-life/pro-choice politics that
sharply divide Americans on the issue.
