LEGAL PROBLEMS CONCERNING PERSONAL RIGHTS IN REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

1 .研究项目的成员（每个人负责一个特定的研究领域）举行了几次非正式会议和正式的研究讨论，在讨论中，关于辅助生育问题的社会政治政策，一些合乎逻辑的争论点变得明显起来。这项研究的成果之一就是这份报告。所有项目成员都认为他们的发现在完成的报告中得到了准确的反映该项目最切实、最重要的成就是编辑和出版了这份报告，其中载有15项建议。在将og项目成员组织成工作组之后，进行了事实调查和信息分析。经过几次研究会议和全体会议之后，该报告的最后草稿于1993年底完成。在此之前，法律和医学专家、律师、女权主义团体、社会学家以及社会上广泛挑选的知识分子被问及他们的观点和意见。通过学习会议和问卷调查征求意见并交换意见。项目成员尽一切努力将获得的信息纳入报告。这一套建议已成为医学专家会议讨论的主题，并计划在不久的将来在一份法律事务杂志上发表（附评论）。预计这些建议将在各专业领域引起广泛注意和辩论。我们也希望这将成为日本制定合适的辅助生育法律的第一步。3在收集有关辅助生育法律研究的书籍、参考资料和其他信息方面，该项目已经相当成功，并推动了外国立法的制定。日本收集、翻译并汇集了各国的法律（这些法律很少被介绍到日本），形成了一个特别的参考资料集该项目还能够收集各种其他有用的信息，这些信息已汇编在一个单独的集合中。少

1 Members of the research project (each responsible for a certain area of inquiry) met several times for informal sessions and formal research discussions, at which a number of logical points of contention became evident regarding socio-political policy toward the issue of Assisted Procreation. One result of the research effort is this report. All project members share the opinion that their findings are accurately reflected in the completed report.2 The most tangible, significant accomplishment of the project has been the editing and publication of this report, which contains 15 Recommendations. After the organizing og project members into working groups, fact-finding investigations and analysis of information proceeded. Following several research sessions and general meetings, a final draft of the report was completed in late 1993. Previous to that, legal and medical experts, lawyers, feminist groups, sociologists, and a broad selection of knowledgeable persons in the society at larg … More e were asked for their views andopinions. Ideas were solicited and exchanged via study sessions and questionnaire surveys. Project members made every effort to incorporate the information obtained into the report. This set of recommendations has already become a subject of discussion at conferences of medical specialists, and has also been scheduled for publication (accompanied by a commentary) in a legal affairs journalin the near future. It is expected that these recommendations will attract much attention and generate debate in various professional circles. It is also hoped that they prove to be an initial step toward the enactment of suitable Assisted Procreation laws in Japan.3 This project has been quite successful in terms of collecting books, reference material, and other information relating to legal research about Assisted Procreation and moves toward enactment of legislation in foreign countries. The laws of various foreign countries (which have seldom been introduced to Japan) were gathered, translated, and brought togather in a special collection of reference material.4 This project was also able to gather a variety of other useful information which has been compiled in a separate collection.
