The institution of marriage and blood descent : discussion on the Supreme Court decision
科学技術の進展は法律上の親子関係、特に父子関係に二つの問題を投げかけた。一つは、
生殖補助医療による子の親は誰かという問題である。生殖補助医療をめぐる法整備がなされない中、
最高裁判所は生殖補助医療による多様な親子関係を、自然生殖による親子関係を前提に明治時代に制
定された民法の解釈から判断してきた。しかし、これらの判断は、生殖補助医療の急速な進展により、
前提となっている自然生殖による親子関係についての民法解釈をめぐる疑義に答えが出されないまま
なされた面がある。科学技術の進展がもたらしたDNA鑑定の精度の向上は、この前提である自然生殖
による親子関係を揺さぶるという、いま一つの問題を投げかけた。最高裁は、婚姻中に妻が懐胎して
生まれた子については血縁主義を貫かず、婚姻制度を重視することで、自然生殖によって生まれた子
と、生殖補助医療により生まれた子を含めた親子法制の整合性を図ることを選択したといえる。The progress of science and technology has cast two challenges on parent-child relationships, particularly father-child
relationships, in the eyes of the law. The first challenge is parenting a child born via assisted reproductive technologies.
While laws regarding assisted reproductive technologies have not been implemented, the Supreme Court has till date used
the Civil Code enacted in the Meiji Period, which predicates parent-child relationships on natural reproduction, to judge a
variety of parent-child relationships generated via assisted reproductive technology. However, because of the rapid
progress of such technology, these decisions cannot respond to the doubts about the applicability and validity of the Civil
Code interpretation.
The improvement of the DNA testing accuracy, because of technological progress, has generated the other challenge:
Shaking loose the predicate of parent-child relationships on the basis of natural reproduction. In the case of a child
gestated and born in wedlock, the Supreme Court has stressed the institution of marriage over blood descent, thus making
an attempt to establish consistency in the law concerning parent-child relationships, including a consistency between
children born by natural reproduction and children born via assisted reproductive technology
Air Pollution in Kagoshima City (Part 28): Investigation from April 2014 to March 2015
Air pollution in Kagoshima City from April 2014 to March 2015 was investigated with particular emphasis on the dust fall (volcanic ash fall) from Mt. Sakurajima. The dust fall was collected monthly with rainwater at eight locations in Kagoshima City. After the sample had been filtered, the residue was dried and weighed, and the filtrate was analyzed for SO4^2-, Cl^-, and water-soluble matter, as well as for pH. The average monthly dust fall at eight locations in Kagoshima City was 55.8 g·m^-2·month^-1, which was 40% decrease from that observed in the last fiscal year. The concentration of NO2 in the air was measured by use of the "filter-badge method". The average NO2 concentration at the eight locations was 5.8 ppb, which was somewhat lower than that observed in the last fiscal year
