Description
Fujiwara and co-authors survey in 2026 how the Japanese public views consent before death for rapid autopsy research programs. Such programs supply high grade tissue for precision medicine, and world norms stress consent given in life. Japan lacks a steady rule for post death tissue use.
An online survey in January 2025 drew 3,102 people matched to the national mix by sex, age, and region. A teaching video explained four uses of tissue after death, without names or legal status. People rated how needed consent felt for each use on a six point scale. Results can inform fair rules for future programs in Japan.
