Description

[Machine Translation] The "new prenatal diagnosis" to examine chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus from the blood of pregnant women began in Japan in April 2001. In addition, by examining the genes, it is now possible to determine the diseases that are likely to occur in the future and the probability of developing them. Such advances in medical technology are basically desirable. However, as the latest technology has entered the realm of life-threatening diseases, patients and their families have been forced to make major choices. As a result, more and more people are wondering whether they made the right decision. What should we think about this? Have advances in medical science left mental care and ethics behind? This article discusses the current situation and issues from the standpoint of a psychiatrist.

Description in Japanese

新型出生前診断と「命の選択」 (祥伝社新書) / 香山リカ/〔著〕

妊婦の血液から胎児の染色体異常を調べる「新型出生前診断」が、二〇一三年四月から日本でも始まった。また、遺伝子を調べることによって、将来発症しやすい病気や確率も判明するようになっている。このような医療技術の進歩は基本的には望ましい。だが、最新技術が命に関わる領域に踏み込んだことで、患者と家族は大きな選択を迫られるようになった。その結果、自らの判断が正しかったのか悩む人が増えている。それに対して私たちはどう考えればいいのだろうか。医学の進歩に、心のケアや倫理は取り残されていないだろうか。現状と課題を、精神科医の立場から考える。
