Expand the possibility of bioethics

5) The fundamental sense of security.
In the book Life Studies Approaches to Bioethics: A New Perspective on Brain Death, Feminism, and Disability (2001), I discussed the idea of "the fundamental sense of security" as a key term for thinking about the negative psychological impact of new eugenics. You can see the summary in this paper. I believe this term will be one of the basic concepts of "life studies." And I analysed bioethics literature in Japan in 1970s, and demonstrated that feminism and disability studies would change bioethics into a more attractive discipline. This book includes other important ideas. This book succeeded in introducing life studies approaches into the field of bioethics and expanded the possibility of bioethics in Japan, and this is probably the first attempt of this kind in the world.
