Public attitudes in Japan toward the creation and use of gametes derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells

AIM: To ascertain to what extent the Japanese general public accept the creation and use of in vitro derived (IVD)-gametes derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. MATERIALS & METHODS: We conducted an online survey and obtained answers from 3096 respondents. RESULTS: 78.6% of the respo...

description AIM: To ascertain to what extent the Japanese general public accept the creation and use of in vitro derived (IVD)-gametes derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. MATERIALS & METHODS: We conducted an online survey and obtained answers from 3096 respondents. RESULTS: 78.6% of the respondents answered that they would accept the creation and use of IVD-gametes for research purposes, 51.7% answered that they would accept the creation and use of embryos with IVD-gametes for research purposes, and 25.9% answered that they would accept childbirth using embryos with IVD-gametes. DISCUSSION: The results that approximately half of the respondents answered that they would accept the creation of embryos with IVD-gametes, which has not been allowed in the current Japanese research guidelines, is astonishing.
