Beginning with the history, it introduces various views on bioethics, based on specific experiences from Japan. It describes how Japan has been confronted with Western bioethics and the ethical issues new to this modern age, and how it has found its foothold as it decides where it stands on these issues. In the last chapter, the author proposes discarding the overarching term ?Global Bioethics? in favor of the new term, ?Bioethics Across the Globe (BAG)?, which carries a more universal connotation. This book serves as an excellent tool to help readers understand a different culture and to initiate deep and genuine global dialogue that incorporates local and global thinking on bioethics. Bioethics Across the Globe is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of bioethics/medical ethics interested in adopting cross-cultural approaches, as well as graduate and undergraduate students of healthcare and philosophy. 606 $aBioethics 606 $aMedical ethics 610 $aTheory of Medicine/Bioethics 610 $aHealth Sciences 610 $aBioethics 610 $aBrain death 610 $aInformed Consent 610 $aAdvance Directives 610 $aRegenerative medicine 610 $aResearch Regulation 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aMedicine: general issues 615 0$aBioethics. 615 0$aMedical ethics. 676 $a610.1 676 $a174.2 700 $aAkabayashi$b Akira$f1958-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01254459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404249503321 996 $aBioethics across the globe$92908505 997 $aUNINA
