项目摘要

In this project we will bring together an innovative team of academics from Japan and the UK to work together on one of the most pressing matters of our time. The Mitori Project will use the perspectives of social science, the humanities, and ethics to address a range of end of life issues that are of growing importance. We will examine how care of people at the end of life is currently organised in the UK and Japan. We will explore how this has been shaped by relevant cultural, demographic, professional and policy factors. Our focus will be on how two post-industrial societies - with ageing populations, heavy demand on health and social systems and changing social expectations about dying, death and bereavement - are responding to the challenges they face. We will also consider the wider discourses about the end of life that exist in the two countries, examining cultural responses, debates about assisted dying, and the representations of life and death that occur when life-threatening illness trajectories become extended, erratic and unpredictable. The Mitori Project will take a 'watching' brief on end of life issues in the two countries. It will enhance our understanding and adopt innovative approaches to shape a new agenda for research, knowledge exchange - and ultimately for social change and societal improvement.

在这个项目中，我们将汇集来自日本和英国的创新学术团队，共同致力于我们这个时代最紧迫的问题之一。Mitori项目将使用社会科学，人文科学和伦理学的观点来解决一系列日益重要的生命终结问题。我们将研究目前在英国和日本如何组织临终关怀。我们将探讨相关的文化、人口、专业和政策因素是如何塑造这一点的。我们的重点将是两个后工业社会-人口老龄化，对卫生和社会系统的需求巨大，以及对死亡，死亡和丧亲的社会期望不断变化-如何应对他们面临的挑战。我们还将考虑两国存在的关于生命终结的更广泛的讨论，检查文化反应，关于协助死亡的辩论，以及当危及生命的疾病轨迹变得延长，不稳定和不可预测时发生的生与死的表示。Mitori项目将对这两个国家的生命终结问题进行“观察”。它将增强我们的理解，并采取创新方法，为研究、知识交流以及最终为社会变革和社会改善制定新的议程。
