Analyse on the right of choice bioethical

本研究的目的是在生命伦理学领域建构一个关于自我决定概念的法律理论。随着医疗技术的进步，客户接受先进治疗的法律程序出现了各种问题。我们在这项研究中讨论的问题之一是确定应尊重所谓自决的范围。显然，自决的范围应该以某种方式加以限制。但我们需要知道，我们如何恰当地界定自决的范围。为了实现这一目标，我们对法国的学术观点和实践进行了深入的研究。作为这项研究的结果，我们发表了几篇文章（例如Noriko Mizuno，“民法典与人工扩散领域的儿童权利”，发表于Yuzawa主编，Hito-no Ho to I no Rinri, 2005）。我们还发表了一篇关于高等法院判决的案例笔记，该案件涉及一名寡妇用她已故丈夫的冷冻精子人工授精生下一个孩子。我们对这一判决的案例说明似乎对另一个类似案件的判决（东京地方法院2005年9月26日的判决）产生了一些影响。

The purpose of this research was to construct a legal theory concerning the concept of self determination in the field of bioethics. As the medical technology advances, there come up various issues regarding the legal procedures for the clients to receive advanced treatments. One of the issues that we took up in this research was the determination of the scope where the so-called self-determination should be respected.It is apparent that the scope of self-determination should be limited somehow. But we need to know, how we could appropriately define the scope of self-determination.In order to pursue this goal, we made thorough researches on the scholarly opinions and practices in France.As results of this research, we have published several articles (e.g. Noriko Mizuno, "Civil code and the rights of child in the field of artificial proliferation" in Yuzawa ed., Hito-no Ho to I no Rinri, 2005). We have also published a case-note on a high court decision about a case where a widow had a baby by artificial insemination with the frozen sperm of her deceased husband. Our case-note on this decision seems to have had some influences on another decision (Tokyo District Court decision on Septemer 26, 2005) of a similar case.
