A History of the Self-Regulation of Recombinant DNA Research in Japan

对日本重组DNA研究自律的历史分析表明，分子生物学家和应用微生物学家与国际贸易和工业部在1984年的“生命科学与人类会议”第2至第7届国际生命伦理学会议上一致认为重组DNA带来的风险是最小的。这导致废除了基于生产设施逐案审查和风险评估的物理/生物遏制标准。有可能是围绕重组DNA的伦理问题，推动了“作为公共话语的生命伦理”政策，该政策旨在获得日本人对所有操纵生命的研究的理解和支持。

A historical analysis of the self-regulation of recombinant DNA research in Japan revealed that molecular biologists and applied microbiologists, together with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, agreed in 1984 at the "Conference on Life Sciences and Mankind 'the 2nd to 7th International Conference on Bioethics'" that the risks posed by recombinant DNA were minimal. This led to the abolishment of physical/biological containment standards based on case-by-case reviews and risk assessment at production facilities. It is possible that ethical issues surrounding recombinant DNA put into full swing "Bioethics as a Public Discourse," a policy aimed at obtaining the understanding and support of Japanese people for all research that manipulates life.
