Surveys were performed before and after the
bioethics class
What do you imagine with the word “bioethics”?
Do you believe in life after death?
What is “death” to you?
Do you think brain death is human death?
Do you want your organs after your brain death?
Do you feel that you are alive?
What comforts you?
Are you alive now? Are you made to live?
What would you do if you were told “cancer”
Do you think that life science makes people happy?
Survey results①
Students described as if some one else’s problem, prior to the
class
After the class, students seems to think of life as
relationship. Students feel death as the back
side of life
Japanese students feel comfort in sleeping or
when eating (Stressful society!)
No change in the broad sense, still some thing has
changed.
Survey results②
While some students become more definite, the
percentage of “I don’t know” increased
This reaction is beyond the teacher’s intention
 Difficult to understand “quality of life”
 Students are puzzled what life is, not that they
don’t know
Conclusion


It is good if bioethics provides a better life
“Quality of life” sometimes wishes for extensive
life care, on the other hand, euthanasia
Biological life view vs. humanized life view must
be challenged
Buddhist life view, as organisms’ karma
Autonomy, or pursuing happiness
Pursuing “quality of life” may provide new
discussion on “greatest benefit for greatest
number”
Pandora’s box is open, we need to collect what is
released
