It discusses the creation of a Japanese translation of the word 'rights', Kenri; examines the historical record for words and concepts similar to 'rights'; and highlights the move towards recognising patients' rights in the 1960s and 1970s. Two policy studies are central to the book. One concentrates on Japan's 1989 AIDS Prevention Act, and the other examines the protracted controversy over whether brain death should become a legal definition of death. Rejecting conventional accounts that recourse to rights is less important to resolving disputes than other cultural forms,The Ritual of Rights in Japan uses these contemporary cases to argue that the invocation of rights is a critical aspect of how conflicts are articulated and resolved. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xPatients$xLegal status, laws, etc$zJapan 606 $aDead bodies (Law)$zJapan 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$xLaw and legislation$zJapan 606 $aActions and defenses$zJapan 606 $aLaw$xSocial aspects$zJapan 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xPatients$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aDead bodies (Law) 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc.$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aActions and defenses 615 0$aLaw$xSocial aspects 676 $a340/.115/0952 700 $aFeldman$b Eric A.$0852478 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780071303321 996 $aThe ritual of rights in Japan$93755322 997 $aUNINA
