Ethical and legal framework for human brain organoid research
The Brocher residency will allow me to fulfil the following four objectives.
1) To elucidate the ethical, social, and legal justification of human brain organoid research in Japan and internationallybased on a synthesis of project findings by July 2024.
2) To articulate a national and international ethical and legal framework for human brain organoid research, drawing comparisons with global governance frameworks for AI and human heritable genome editing.
3) To propose a national and international ethical and legal framework for human brain organoid research, including practical recommendations for advancing this research.
4) To propose specific policies regarding the question of consciousness, a particularly controversial issue in human brain organoid research.
