Abstract

|
As the development of cutting-edge life science technologies, including genetic test, xenotransplantation and nanomedicine, the risk debates have been raised much more comprehensive and fundamental issues than that were discussed previously because of the increased uncertainty. Under the changed circumstances, it is requested to investigate such issues of risk and uncertainty in the context of bioethics. However, compared with other disciplines, the risk issues are rarely discussed in bioethics except in the field of IRB.
In this paper, after analyzing the concept of risk and uncertainty which were discussed in other disciplines, I examined whether the analyzed risk concepts would be applied in the bioethics. In addition, I reviewed the limits of those concepts when applied to the IRB system, Based on these, it is suggested that the risk debate should be addressed within the framework of bioethics governance.
