  • The Rise of Public Engagement in Japan and the UK

    Open AccessKoichi Mikami, Erika Amethyst Szymanski et al.ARTICLEEast Asian Science Technology and…2026

    This paper juxtaposes major historical developments in public engagement in Japan and the UK to unsettle the idea that the UK experience of how “publics” have been accounted for in science policy might be taken as a common or representative story. In comparison to the UK and European moves “from deficit to dialogue,” recent events in Japan are much less well-known internationally, and do not follow the same pattern. Rather than being either “ahea…

  • Contiguous Governance of Synchronic and Diachronic Changes for the Use of Genome Editing Technologies

    Open AccessJusaku Minari, Nariyoshi Shinomiya et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Political Science2022References: 6

    Genome editing technologies are increasingly coming under scrutiny, based on various social value judgments in biomedical research, clinical care, and public health. A central cause of this sociotechnical tension is that these technologies are capable of precisely and easily creating genome-modified organisms and human cells and tissues. To exemplify a general framework for a national governance system of genome editing technologies, we first loo…

  • Elsi is Our Next Battlefield

    Open AccessKoichi Mikami, Arisa Ema et al.ARTICLEEast Asian Science Technology and…2021

    ELSI refers to “ethical, legal, and social issues/implications” of science and technology (S&T). The term has been gaining currency in Japan over the last 15 years in the context of its national S&T policy. In this essay, we argue that ELSI will become a pivotal concept characterizing the relationship between S&T and social sciences and humanities (SSH) in the country, due particularly to the first-ever amendment to the S&T Basic Law scheduled in…

  • Meaning of Ambiguity

    Open AccessAiko Hibino, Go Yoshizawa et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2019Cited by: 1References: 3

    Synthetic biology and genome editing have become increasingly controversial issues, necessitating careful attention and engagement with the public. Our study examined ambiguity in public perception about emerging biotechnologies through the use of several intermediate response options in a survey. To understand the relationship between respondents' thoughts and attitudes, we also examined how respondents' indecision is related to their cognitive …

  • Dynamic Consent

    Open AccessMegan Prictor, Megan A Lewis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2019References: 1

    Dynamic consent (DC) is an approach to consent that enables people, through an interactive digital interface, to make granular decisions about their ongoing participation. This approach has been explored within biomedical research, in fields such as biobanking and genomics, where ongoing contact is required with participants. It is posited that DC can enhance decisional autonomy and improve researcher-participant communication. Currently, there i…

  • 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…
