A Research on the establishment of legal system with regards to self determination right in the fields of Bioethics

这项研究与日本社会促进会(JSPS)的科学研究资助(C)一起进行了两年，试图建立生物伦理学领域的自决权利法律制度。在2006年至2007年的整个研究期间，研究主要涉及日本、美国、加拿大、德国和荷兰的法规、学术意见和法院判决。虽然行使自主权已成为医疗环境的一种趋势，但也有一些人表示怀疑，因为自决权利并不总是给患者带来福利。研究成果发表在以下文章中：医疗法律中的人体图像，指的是医学法中的人体图像，讨论了真人与图像在自决权利假设上的区别；医学与法律决策，介绍了美国、加拿大和欧洲国家在医疗环境中实行的共同决策的理念和法规。预防性手术前的信息责任，最高法院2006年10月27日的案例笔记论述了患者知情同意的取得过程。它说，知情同意的理念是给予患者适当的机会来决定他们满足自己的生活方式的治疗方法。注意，日本最近用英文编写的关于医生在医疗后的法律解释义务的发展，处理了医疗事故后的告知义务。除了这些文章，最近的《医疗事故民事责任动向》讨论了日本和外国的医疗事故民事责任，《医学法导论》第二版增加了一些信息，为新版的修订做准备。
