Abstract

On April 2000, the so-called Millennium project which was launched by Japanese Government has started. Genetic research is one of the important subject in this project. Since there has been no official guideline for ethical issues in relation to genetic analysis research, Ministry of Health and Welfare arranged a special committee to prepare such a guideline. The process and key points of this guideline which has been published on April 2000 by Ministry of Health and Welfare was described.

High hopes and automatic escalators: a critique of some new arguments in bioethics.

Two protechnology arguments, the "hopeful principle" and the "automatic escalator", often used in bioethics, are identified and critically analysed in this paper. It is shown that the hopeful principle is closely related to the problematic precautionary principle, and the automatic escalator argument has close affinities to the often criticised empirical slippery slope argument. The hopeful principle is shown to be really hopeless as an argument, and automatic escalator arguments often lead nowhere when critically analysed. These arguments should therefore only be used with great caution.
