Having explored empirically (in her Kiban C research) the evolution of the debate on PGT-M in Japan, the PI concluded from it that the prediction made by some prominent bioethicists that the future of human reproduction is not through sex but through Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) does not necessarily hold. In particular, when looking at the Japanese case, the projection of the Stanford University Professor Henry Greely that within the next 20-30 years the majority of people in countries with good healthcare systems will procreate not in the old-fashioned way (namely, through sex), but through embryo screening (not only for heritable diseases but also for ad hoc mutations) does not hold. The Japanese case demonstrates that PGD will not be/is not so easy as Greely envisions; Japan has a most sophisticated healthcare system, and yet Greely’s “Easy PGD” is proving not easy here. Indeed, Japan, for one, seems to remain one of those “tricky” jurisdictions that do not fall in line with predictions by Greely and other prognosticators of an impending reproductive revolution for the human species. One of the implications of this finding is that the global framework for reproductive governance which is currently in construction, with initiatives within the United Nations, cannot be based on the premise drawn by scholars such as Greely and needs to accurately represent the international reality, incorporating cases from Asia as well.

在(在她的Kiban C研究中)对日本关于PGT-M的争论的演变进行了经验探索后，PI得出结论，一些著名的生物伦理学家关于人类生殖的未来不是通过性别而是通过植入前基因诊断(PGD)的预测并不一定成立。特别是，在研究日本的案例时，斯坦福大学(Stanford University)教授亨利·格里利(Henry Greely)的预测是站不住脚的，他预测，在未来20至30年内，拥有良好医疗体系的国家的大多数人将不以老式的方式(即通过性)生育，而是通过胚胎筛查(不仅是为了遗传疾病，也是为了临时突变)生育。日本的案例表明，PGD不会/不像Greely设想的那么容易；日本拥有最复杂的医疗体系，但Greely的“Easy PGD”在这里被证明并不容易。事实上，日本似乎仍然是那些“棘手的”司法管辖区之一，与格里利和其他预言家关于人类物种即将发生生殖革命的预测不符。这一发现的影响之一是，目前正在建设的全球生殖治理框架以及联合国内部的倡议，不能以格里利等学者提出的前提为基础，需要准确地反映国际现实，并纳入亚洲的案例。
