Abstract

Looking back at the history of Japanese medical ethics in the 1970s, Hisayuki Omodaka advocated assertive responses to environmental problems as well as the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. Taro Takemi said that the advent of the welfare state led to questions about the better survival of human beings. Shigeichi Sunahara mentioned the need to review medical research from a social perspective. Yonezo Nakagawa stated the need to grasp the features of medicine that cannot be reduced to science. He also mentioned Van R. Potter’ s book “Bioethics” and argued that discussions of human survival are part of medical ethics. Based on the above, we can confirm that issues related to bioethics that became prevalent in the 1980s had already been debated in the 1970s in Japan, and discussions on environmental ethics such as the better survival of human beings were also conducted.
