A Study on the Interrelation between Development of Medical Technologies and Gender by focusing on Gene, Oocyte, and Fetus in Several Society

这项研究考察了性别偏见如何影响与遗传学、生殖和再生医学有关的医疗技术的发展。我们采访了日本、韩国和美国这些医疗技术的研究人员和患者/用户，并就印度、中国和其他国家的女性和医疗技术的状况进行了二次研究。我们认为，这些技术的许多专家和用户同意女性的性别角色，这一观点加强了人们对这些医疗技术的必要性的认识。我们得出结论，性别偏见影响着技术发展的方向，并指出了在思考医疗新技术监管时考虑性别因素的必要性。

This study examines how gender bias affected the development of medical technologies concerning genetics, reproduction, and regenerative medicine. We conducted interviews with researchers and patients/users of these medical technologies in Japan, Korea, and the U. S. A., as well as secondary research regarding the situation of women and medical technologies in India, China, and other countries. We argue that many experts and users of these technologies agree with gender role of women, and this perspective reinforces the perceived necessity of these medical technologies. We conclude that gender bias influences the direction of technology development, and we point out the necessity of considering gender in thinking about the regulation of new medical technologies.
