Research into Bioethics in Asia Based on Three levels Structure Analysis

本研究旨在通过三层次分析的方法来阐明亚洲国家的生命伦理结构。今年，除了往年的“临终关怀”和“生殖医学”之外，我们还将这一方法应用于“器官移植”的主题。并对三年的研究成果进行了总结。具体地说，今年我们对中国、韩国、伊朗、印度、泰国、巴基斯坦、菲律宾、俄罗斯、孟加拉国等国的生命伦理学进行了研究，并于12月7日至8日在熊本大学举办了生命伦理学国际研讨会。他们发表在《尤比奥斯亚洲和国际生物伦理学杂志》上。

This research aims at elucidating the structure of bioethics in Asian countries through the method of Three-Level-Analysis. This year we applied the method to the theme of "organ transplantation" in addition to those of the previous years, i.e. "end of life care" and "reproductive medicine". We also summarized the results of the three-year research. Concretely, this year we conducted the research into the bioethics in China, Korea, Iran, India, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, and Bangladesh, and held the international seminar on bioethics on 7-8 December at Kumamoto University. What they presented was published in Eubios Journal of Asian and International Bioethics.
