  • Changing Discourse on In Vitro Gametogenesis

    Open AccessDaisuke Yamashita, Yusuke Shikano et al.ARTICLEMonash Bioethics Review2026

    In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) has attracted growing attention as a transformative reproductive technology, despite its remaining largely at the stage of basic research. This paper analyzes how IVG is represented across academic and media discourse, with a particular focus on expectations surrounding its clinical applications and the ethical implications of such expectations. Drawing on a qualitative review of bioethical literature, selected media …

  • Patient involvement in priority-setting for medical research

    Open AccessAmelia Katirai, Atsushi Kogetsu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Patient involvement (PI) in determining medical research priorities is an important way to ensure that limited research funds are allocated to best serve patients. As a disease area for which research funds are limited, we see a particular utility for PI in priority-setting for medical research on rare diseases. In this review, we argue that PI initiatives are an important form of evidence for policymaking. We conducted a study to identify the ex…

  • Ethical acceptability of research on human-animal chimeric embryos

    Open AccessHiroshi Mizuno, Hidenori Akutsu et al.ARTICLELife Sciences Society and Policy2015References: 10

    Human-animal chimeric embryos are embryos obtained by introducing human cells into a non-human animal embryo. It is envisaged that the application of human-animal chimeric embryos may make possible many useful research projects including producing three-dimensional human organs in animals and verification of the pluripotency of human ES cells or iPS cells in vivo. The use of human-animal chimeric embryos, however, raises several ethical and moral…

  • Ethical considerations of research policy for personal genome analysis

    Open AccessJusaku Minari, Tetsuya Shirai et al.ARTICLELife Sciences Society and Policy2014References: 40

    As evidenced by high-throughput sequencers, genomic technologies have recently undergone radical advances. These technologies enable comprehensive sequencing of personal genomes considerably more efficiently and less expensively than heretofore. These developments present a challenge to the conventional framework of biomedical ethics; under these changing circumstances, each research project has to develop a pragmatic research policy. Based on th…

  • Public engagement in Japanese policy-making

    Open AccessRyuma Shineha, Kazuto Kato et al.ARTICLENew Genetics and Society2009

    New laws regulating the use of genetically modified organisms have recently been enacted in Japan, and there were many stakeholders involved in the development of this policy. Our review of the history and the debates held in the course of policy development regarding genetically modified organisms in Japan shows that the current regulatory system was developed taking past national and international regulatory contexts into consideration. The tur…

  • The International HapMap Project

    Open AccessRichard A Gibbs, John W Belmont et al.ARTICLENature2003

    The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain. An international consortium is developing a map of these patterns across the genome by determining the genotypes of one million or more sequence variants, their frequencies and the degree of association between them, in DNA samples from populations with a…
