Abstract
Now, in the case which has been ethical problems on the medical practice, Many cases of these problems have been discussed at medical ethics committee. In an occasion, conclusion of the medical ethics committees have not always consisted with each other on the same theme. This seems strange affairs. For example, Concerning of the brain death, the conclusion of ethical committees differ from each other on whether brain death is human death or not. Therefore, we should have need that has to be made the standard guide-line on the great ethical problems and need of which each ethics committees are organized all over the nation. Result of my study of ethics committee's regulations shows that these don't compose suitably to solve the great ethical problems. Each ethics committee should discuss carefully and responsibly whether own institution or physician should practice suitably or not following the standard guide-line made by organized ethics comittee.
