Abstract

The results of teaching trials among students in Japan are reported, examining their attitudes towards prenatal diagnosis and ART over a course of lectures. The students tended to be more negative than the general public over the use of prenatal diagnosis. The results of attitude changes, and example comments to explain the categorization process are given. The students had a diversity of comments and could reason about the examples of technology used, but were characterized by a higher percentage of uncertainty than in the general public even after lectures on bioethics.
