Dec. 7 class

In this class, we defined what bioethics is, and discussed the issues of bioethics. There were, for example, cloning, GM food , designed baby, suicide and so on. Then everyone made priority. My ranking was that; 1.abortion 2. euthanasia 3.transplant 4. surrogacy. First two issues are related to death, rather than life. In addition when abortion is done, there is no possibility to be considered for the will of baby in the womb. So I put it at the vary first. Then transplant and surrogacy is related to life, rather than death. And again there is, not always but often, will of patient when transplant is done. That's why I made my ranking like above mentioned.
Also it was interesting for me to demonstrate the actual condition of Japanese medical system. I think Japanese government should provide more social insurance.
