A Comparative Research on the Concept of "Life" Reflected in Public Attitudes toward Genetic Technologies and Reproductive Technologies.

科学家和普通人普遍认同的“生命”概念似乎被两个方向撕裂：一方面，被称为“Tsunagari [连续性]"的整体概念，另一方面，如“Kakegae no Nai Inochi“的个人主义概念，其字面意思是”没有其他东西可以取代的生命“。“哲学家和哲学家未能以各种方式解决这种紧张关系。相反，重要的是重新审视人们的生命观，质疑整体观和个人观之间的二分法。

The concept of "life" that is broadly shared by scientific experts and lay people seems to be torn in two directions : on the one hand, a holistic notion referred to as "Tsunagari [continuity]", and, on the other hand, the individualistic notion such as "Kakegae no Nai Inochi,"which literally means" life for which nothing else can substitute."Religions and philosophies have failed to resolve this tension in various ways. Rather, it is important to reexamine people's notion of life, questioning the dichotomy between holistic view and individualistic view.
