Abstract

<P>　　The 30th annual meeting of the Japan Association for Bioethics (JAB) was held in Kyoto in December 2018. At this anniversary event, we had a poster presentation that looked back on the past 30 years of JAB under three themes: major events regarding bioethics in Japan, an outline of the activities of JAB, and the transition of the “Journal of Japan Association for Bioethics.” This article aims to describe and rewrite these posters with some additional analysis and discussion. During the last 30 years, many bioethical social issues have arisen, and regulations based on various laws and ethical guidelines have been enforced in some areas. In line with the social flow, JAB itself has also experienced various changes. The Journal of Japan Association for Bioethics has published studies on various topics, thus leading the discussion on bioethics in Japan and contributing to the spread and deepening of bioethics. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all the people who have contributed to the 30-year development of JAB so far, and we hope that this article will provide an opportunity for further growth of bioethics in Japan.</p>
