与西方的争论相比,日本几乎没有关于人类胚胎干细胞研究(hESR)的争论。根据既定的观点,日本没有禁止进行hESR的文化规范,因此关于胚胎地位的辩论与日本文化几乎没有关系。现有的争论被认为对科学政策制定者至关重要,尽管只有少数社会团体的声音垄断了这些争论。三个这样的少数派声音是:反优生网络,一个女权主义者兼残疾人运动;日本脊髓损伤协会;以及一些激进的佛教教派这三个团体明确地支持或反对hESR。然而,公共辩论主要是由政治利益集团进行的,他们放大和错误引用少数人的声音。这些利益集团利用对hESR的期望来促进财政和政治支持,同时他们的目标是治愈疾病。这三个社会群体过去在日本卫生政治方面的经历与承诺、风险认知和对hESR未来的怀疑有关。
Compared to debates in the West, the debate on human embryonic stem cell research (hESR) in Japan is said to be hardly existent. According to established views, the country has no cultural canons that forbid hESR, so a debate on the status of the embryo is hardly relevant to Japanese culture. The existing debate is considered crucial to science policy-makers, though monopolized by the voices of only a few social groups. Three such minority voices are: the Anti-Eugenic Network, a feminist-cum-handicapped movement; the Japanese Association for Spinal Cord Injuries; and a few radical Buddhist sects. These three groups clearly support or oppose hESR. Nevertheless the public debate is carried mainly by political interest groups that amplify and mis-quote the minority voices. These interest groups capitalize on the hopes placed on hESR in promoting financial and political support, at the same time as they aim to cure disease. The past experiences of the three social groups with Japanese politics on health are linked to promises, risk perception and doubts about the future of hESR.
