In this symposium, 4 panelists raised issues on recent bioethical problems from the viewpoint of not only medicine and welfare but also law and politics. The medical treatment and science regarding the life in recent years are reaching to a new stage by the progress of the top medical treatment technology such as genetic technique, artificial reproductive technology, and artificial longevity technology. However, we are afraid of unlimited escalation of the medical treatment. Bioethics is therefore required to set a new framework of ethics on human clone, reproduction back-up medical treatment, organ transplantation, and terminal care. This symposium provided important on those issues.
