历史上，韩国、中国和日本这三个东亚国家有着相似的文化背景。这是在生物伦理学领域假定亚洲价值观的基础。然而，不同的现代化进程和医疗体系导致了相当大的差异。随着老龄化进程，临终关怀问题在这三个国家变得越来越重要。我们对3个国家的899名业外人士进行了一项研究，内容涉及他们对临终决定的看法；临终关怀中有利的决策方式；制度和法律手段；停止维持生命的治疗；以及安乐死。我们确认了三个国家之间的一些相似之处，也注意到了一些不同之处。
Three East Asian countries, Korea, China, and Japan, have shared a similar cultural background throughout history. This is the basis of the assumption of Asian values in the field of bioethics. However, different processes of modernization and healthcare systems have resulted in considerable differences. Along with the aging process, end-of-life care issues have been increasing in importance in these three countries. We conducted a study of 899 lay persons in 3 countries regarding their perspectives about end-of-life decisions; favorable ways of decision-making in end-of-life care; institutional and legal devices; withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment; and euthanasia. We confirmed several similarities and noted some differences among the three countries.
