  • The adult guardianship system has been introduced through amendments of Korean Civil Code for the first time in the March 2011(Act No. 10429, 7. 1. 2013. enforcement). The adult guardianship system has the main purposes to provide a lot of help vulnerable adults and elderly, and protect them on the welfare related with property act, treatment, care, etc. There could be a controversy about whether the protection Legal Guardian's consent(formerly known as the Mental Health Act) or permission of the Family Court(revised Civil Code) are required to, or the Mental Health Act should be revised, when mental patient will be hospitalized forcibly. The author proposes that mental patient with Adult guardians should be determined by Legal Guardian's consent and approval of the Family Court, but mental patient without Adult guardians could be determined by Legal Guardian's consent. The issue of Withdrawing of life-sustaining treatment could be occurred due to the aging society and the development of modern medicine, and this has provided difficult, various problems to mankind in Legal, ethical, and social welfare aspects. The need of Death with dignity law or Natural death law has been reduced for a revision of the Civil Code. Therefore, on the issue of Withdrawing of life-sustaining treatment, in the future, intervention of the court is necessary in accordance with the revised Civil Code Section, and Organ Transplantation Act and the brain death criteria may serve as an important criterion.

  • Last March, the world Go competition between AlphaGo, AI Go program developed by Google Deep Mind and professional Go player Lee Sedol has shown us that the 4th industrial revolution using AI has come close. Especially, there ar many system combined with AI hae been developing including program for researching legal information, system for expecting jurisdiction, and processing big data, there is saying that even AI legal person is ready for its appearance. As legal field is mostly based on text-based document, such characteristic makes it easier to adopt artificial intelligence technology. When a legal person receives a case, the first thing to do is searching for legal information and judical precedent, which is the one of the strength of AI. It is very difficult for a human being to utilize a flow of legal knowledge and figures by analyzing them but for AI, this is nothing but a simple job. The ability of AI searching for regulation, precedent, and literature related to legal issue is way over our expectation. AI is evaluated to be able to review 1 billion pages of legal document per second and many people agree that lot of legal job will be replaced by AI. Along with development of AI service, legal service is becoming more advanced and if it devotes to ethical solving of legal issues, which is the final goal, not only the legal field but also it will help to gain nation's trust. If nations start to trust the legal service, it would never be completely replaced by AI. What is more, if it keeps offering advanced, ethical, and quick legal service, value of law devoting to the society will increase and finally, will make contribution to the nation. In this time where we have to compete with AI, we should try hard to increase value of traditional legal service provided by human. In the future, priority of good legal person will be his/her ability to use AI. The only field left to human will be understanding and recovering emotion of human caused by legal problem, which cannot be done by AI's controlling function. Then, what would be the attitude of legal people in this period? It would be to learn the new technology and applying in the field rather than going against it, this will be the way to survive in this new AI period.

  • The number of wild animal species is gradually decreasing due to poaching, hunting and habitat loss. While several endangered animal species have been successfully preserved at the zoo, assisted reproductive technology (ART) must be applied to restore wild animals. In the case of critically endangered animals, somatic cell cloning is considered the most appropriate method of ART. Somatic cell cloning can be beneficial for the reproduction of endangered species with limited female populations. However, gene and cell banks, and understanding of reproductive physiology and optimization of ART for wild animals are urgently required for further activation of artificial reproduction of endangered species, which enlarges its application and maintains biodiversity. Care should also be taken to consider ethical and legal issues associated with somatic cell cloning for conservation of endangered animals.

  • 본 연구에서는 사회저변에서 활용되고 있지만, 학술적 논의는 시작단계인 드론 특히, 재난 재해 대응의 중요한 수단으로서 드론저널리즘에 대한 개념과 의미, 미래 제기될 수 있는 법적 윤리적 쟁점들을 시론적 차원에서 모색하였다. 이를 위해 논문, 보고서 등 드론저널리즘 관련 문헌자료들에 대한 내용분석 방법론을 활용하였다. 선행연구를 통해 드론저널리즘은 혁신확산이론적 측면에서 '상대적 이점', '적합성', '시험가능성', '관찰가능성'은 높고 '복잡성'은 낮은 테크놀로지로서 저널리즘에서 그 확산가능성은 매우 높음을 확인하였다. 그러나 충돌 및 추락사고로 인한 안전문제, 개인초상권 등의 프라이버시를 심각하게 침범할 수 있다는 사생활 침해 논쟁, 낮은 구입가격과 취급용이성으로 인해 많은 이들이 쉽게 드론촬영이 가능함으로 인해 발생하는 정보의 정확도, 출처에 대한 시비가 발생할 가능성이 높다고 전망된다. 선행연구를 기반으로 법적 윤리적 쟁점에 대한 해결방안을 제언한다면, 우선, 기술적 안정성(배터리, 충돌 방지 센서 등)이 요구되며, 드론활용 취재행위에 대한 저널리스트들의 인식전환과 윤리교육 실시, 드론저널리즘의 프라이버시 침해 등의 쟁점이슈의 사회적 공론화를 통한 제도 및 법적조치의 수립이 필요하다. 향후 후속 연구에서는 드론저널리즘에 대한 저널리스트들과 일반대중의 인식조사 등의 실증적 연구가 보다 정교하게 수행되어야 할 것이다.

  • (Background) Recent biotechnological breakthroughs are shedding new lights on various ethical and legal issues about human biological material. Since Rudolph Virchow, a German pathologist, had founded the medical discipline of cellular pathology, issues centering around human biological materials began to draw attention. The issues involving human biological materials were revisited with more attention along with series concerns when the human genome map was finally completed. Recently, with researches on human genes and bioengineering reaping enormous commercial values in the form of material patent, such changes require a society to reassess the present and future status of human tissue within the legal system. This in turn gave rise to a heated debate over how to protect the rights of material donors: property rule vs. no property rule. (Debate and Cases) Property rule recognizes the donors' property rights on human biological materials. Thus, donors can claim real action if there were any bleach of informed consent or a donation contract. Donors can also claim damages to the responsible party when there is an infringement of property rights. Some even uphold the concept of material patents overtaking. From the viewpoint of no property rule, human biological materials are objects separated from donors. Thus, a recipient or a third party will be held liable if there were any infringement of donor's human rights. Human biological materials should not be commercially traded and a patent based on a human biological materials research does not belong to the donor of the tissues used during the course of research. In the US, two courts, Moore v. Regents of the University of California, and Greenberg v. Miami Children's Hospital Research Institute, Inc., have already decided that research participants retain no ownership of the biological specimens they contribute to medical research. Significantly, both Moore and Greenberg cases found that the researcher had parted with all ownership rights in the tissue samples when they donated them to the institutions, even though there was no provision in the informed consent forms stating either that the participants donated their tissue or waived their rights to ownership of the tissue. These rulings were led to huge controversy over property rights on human tissues. This research supports no property rule on the ground that it can protect the human dignity and prevent humans from objectification and commercialization. Human biological materials are already parted from human bodies and should be treated differently from the engineering and researches of those materials. Donors do not retain any ownership. (Suggestions) No property rule requires a legal breakthrough in the US in terms of donors' rights protection due to the absence of punitive damages provisions. The Donor rights issue on human biological material can be addressed through prospective legislation or tax policies, price control over patent products, and wider coverage of medical insurance. (Conclusions) Amid growing awareness over commercial values of human biological materials, no property rule should be adopted in order to protect human dignity but not without revamping legal provisions. The donors' rights issue in material patents requires prospective legislation based on current uncertainties. Also should be sought are solutions in the social context and all these discussions should be based on sound medical ethics of both medical staffs and researchers.

  • 사람을 대상으로 하는 인공지능 서비스가 증가하면서 인공지능에서도 윤리적 토대 위에서 이루어져야 한다는 사회적 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 정부와 기업에서는 인공지능 윤리와 관련된 정책, 규범 등을 마련하고 있다. 합리적인 정책, 규범을 마련하기 위해서는 대중들이 가지고 있는 인식을 파악하는 것이 첫 번째 단계이다. 본 논문에서는 인공지능과 윤리에 대한 대중들의 인식을 파악하기 위해 소셜데이터와 뉴스 댓글을 수집하고 관심도 분석, 감성 분석, 담론 분석 수행 후 시각화하였다. 분석 결과, "인공지능 윤리"에 대한 관심도와 '인공지능" 호감도는 반비례하는 상관관계를 보여주었다. 담론분석 결과로, 가장 큰 이슈가 "개인정보 유출"이었고 학습 데이터의 오염 및 편향 문제와 컴퓨터로 만들어진 인공지능에게 법인격을 부여해야 하는지에 대한 담론도 보여주었다. 본 연구가 인공지능 윤리 규범, 정책을 마련할 때 대중들의 인식을 파악할 수 있는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 현재 우리나라는 대리모 출산을 둘러싼 가족법이나 모성추정의 법안이 없고, 사회적으로도 대리모 관련 문제들이 언론에서 보도는 된 적이 있지만 이러한 논의를 지속적으로 행해지는 못했다. 생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률의 제정과정에서 초기에 논의는 있었지만 이를 법안으로 수용하지 못하여 법적으로나 윤리적으로도 매우 곤란한 문제가 제기되고 있는 실정이다. 그동안 법적인 해석의 어려움과 윤리상의 문제에도 불구하고, 대리모 출산은 음성적으로 공공연히 행해지고 있고, 이에 대하여 최근까지 우리의 법률은 공서양속에 반한다는 이유로 그 법률행위의 무효를 선언하고 있는데 불과하다. 따라서 대리모계약의 문제는 공서양속에 반한다고 무효화하여 방치하기엔 대리모권리와 그 계약에 의해 출생한 자의 복리의 문제가 심각한 사회문제를 일으킬 수 있다고 본다. 이제는 대리모계약의 문제에 대한 법적, 의학적인 대책이 강구되어야 할 때라고 본다. 따라서 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 대리모계약에 따른 여러 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 먼저 대리모계약의 문제점을 고찰함과 동시에, 대리모계약에 대한 각국의 입법례를 이를 바탕으로 우리나라의 대리모에 대한 입법론을 제시하고자 한다.
