【Course Objectives】

The objective of this seminar is to examine problems concerning human life from various perspectives to cultivate the ability to derive your own answer to problems that have no answer.

【Course Contents】

 Who does your life belong to? If it belongs to you, can you freely take your own life? For example, if you wish to die, can you do so and sell your organs for money? If such an action is to be restricted, on what basis and for what reasons is it restricted?
 When problems concerning what is called "bioethics" are presented, there are calls for corresponding legislation. However, in the field of bioethics there are many ethically challenging problems which cannot be resolved using only legal theory.
 In this seminar, the instructor would like to consider specific cases concerning bioethics, for example assisted reproductive technology, prenatal diagnosis, euthanasia, death with dignity, brain death and organ transplantation, from legal and ethical perspectives while thinking about the purpose, role, and limitations of law within medicine. 
 Each class session will raise a specific case concerning bioethics followed by a discussion among all of the students. Therefore, participants are required to actively participate and speak out during the discussion. Furthermore, this class is not intended to provide a "correct answer." Let us all reconsider our own sense of values and existing ethical perspectives by deriving our own answer to problems that have no answer and discussing these problems with others who have a different sense of values. You might realize that what you consider to be common sense is regarded as absurd by someone else.
 Furthermore, the specific class plan will be determined according to the interests of the participants.
