Abstract
In Japan, modern biomedical ethics emerged in the early 1980s. One of
the main triggers was the nationwide debate on organ transplantation
and brain death. A lengthy process of academic, religious, and
political discussion concerning organ transplantation, lasting well
over a few decades, resulted in the enactment of the Organ
Transplantation Law in 1997.1 The defining of death and
other bioethical issues, including death with dignity and euthanasia,
were also stimulating topics throughout the latter end of the twentieth
century. For instance, the death-with-dignity movement, which started
around the late 1960s, developed into a hospice/palliative-care
movement by the end of the 1980s.
