The purposes of this study is to debate the duty to share and right to be forgotten of human materials and human genome information in modern personalized medicine. This study debates the use of human materials and human genome information in modern personalized medicine from the perspectives of the duty to share and right to be forgotten. The arguments are based on personal and community aspects. In general, human genome information is considered the personal property of an individual. Nevertheless, on thinking carefully, we can understand that human materials and human genome information have both personal and community aspects. In this study, cases are examined including a HeLa cell, Guaymi woman cell strain, and Hagahai man cell, to support various debates an genetic information for database construction in personalized medicine. Finally, using moral theories, this study attempts to synthesize the dialectics of the duty to share and right to forget regarding the use of human materials and human genome information in medicine.

This article aims at the legislation of User-Protection Act in area of ICT. In these days telecommunication and broadcasting are getting more and more convergent. The paradigm of ICT is turning over from the service provider to the end-user. User protection has been in each erea of ICT (C-P-N-D) individually regulated. In the area of telecommunication it is important to protect the interest of user, who stands in contract with the service provider. And in area of broadcasting it is important to protect the interest of viewers, who stands "gratis" with the broadcasters without any contracts. For the more efficient user-protection it is also necessary to make a dedicated organization under KCC(Korean Communications Committee). In this early year the government organization was divided into MSIP(Ministry of Science, ICT and future planing) and KCC. The user-protection act will be very important instrument of ICT regulation in the era of creative economy. It is necessary to establish a new frame act of user protection. It is also necessary to make start to establish a new system of user education in erea of ICT. It is strongly expected the new act will be a turning point of ICT development in Korea.

This study explores of the lowest social class segregation in the residential area of Yao city of the Osaka Prefecture. The Buraku people, who constitute a social class that was the object of societal discrimination and exclusion since the beginning of modem times, formed a segregated residential area of their own. During the process of an organized struggle against discrimination that was institutionally recognized, communal consciousness among the constituents was consolidated. Moreover, in the Yao city, Korean immigrants in Japan, another discriminated group, as well as Vietnamese refugees and Chinese, who are also social minorities, increased in number. Also, activities by the Buraku people and Korean immigrants in Japan to defend human rights and the rights of social minorities began to unfold. Recently, the number of small scale factories in the Buraku's Douwa District decreased due to relocation of manufacturing companies elsewhere throughout Japan and to the effects of depression. New non-Buraku houses began to appear one by one on the site where factories started to disappear. While the spatial separatism of Yao city, as part of the isolated Douwa District, is weakening, the struggle based on communal consciousness among the social minorities and continued human rights activity is exerting great influence upon the administrative policy of Yao city. In the case of Yao city, while the visual appearance of spatial segregation is weakening, the communal consciousness among the regional residents remains. From this perspective, it can be said that this case represents a modified form of isolated space or the social pattern of segregation which is in the stage of extinction.

주차금지, 일방통행. 본 논문에서의 횡단보도와 같은 교통표지는 개별적 행위로서 행정행위가 아니라 불특정 다수의 행위를 추상적으로 규율하는 특성을 지닌다. 현행 도로교통법상 횡단보도의 설치여부는 지방경찰청장의 재량 사항으로 규정되어 있어 경찰이 횡단보도를 새로 설치하거나 기존의 횡단보도를 폐지하는 경우 관할 경찰청은 물론 관계 행정청에 이를 설치 혹은 폐지해달라는 민원이 매우 많아 일선 경찰공무원 등이 많은 애로를 느끼고 있으며 급기야는 본고에서 검토할 사례의 경우와 같이 행정소송을 통해 뜻을 관철하고자 하는 경우까지 생겼다. 횡단보도의 설치와 관련한 대법원 판결(대법원 2000.10.27.선고, 98두8964판결)이 이제 처음 나왔지만 시민의 권리의식의 향상에 따른 소송의 증가경향으로 미루어 앞으로 이와 유사한 문제제기는 더욱 늘어날 것으로 전망된다. 이에 본고에서는 횡단보도의 설치와 관련한 행정소송에 대한 최근 대법원판결에 대한 심층분석을 통하여 그 의미와 문제점을 지적함으로써 앞으로 이와 유사한 사례에 대한 판단에 있어 방향성을 제시하였다. 즉 횡단보도 설치행위의 적법성과 관련한 소송에서 가능한 본안심리를 통해 국민의 권익구제의 기회 내지 가능성을 열어주는 것이 바람직하다는 점과 현재 원고적격의 범위가 확대되어 가고 있는 추세에 비추어 앞으로 횡단보도의 설치와 관련한 원고적격의 범위 역시 확대되는 것이 바람직하다는 방향에서 법규정에 대한 새로운 해석을 시도하였고 이를 통해 횡단보도의 설치 및 폐지에 따른 경찰 등 관계 행정청의 관심과 신중을 촉구하였다. 또한 횡단보도 설치행위의 처분성과 관련하여 횡단보도의 설치행위와 같은 일반적인 명령을 항고소송의 대상으로 할 필요성이 존재한다면 이른바 독일에서의 일반처분이라는 개념을 무리하게 받아들여 이를 행정행위의 한 유형으로 한다거나 우리 판례와 같이 "직접적이고 구체적인 법적 효과"를 미치는 명령이라는 명확치 않은 기준에 의하여 처분성을 인정하기보다는 일반적인 명령과 개별적인 행정행위를 구분하고 명령에 대하여도 취소소송의 대상으로 삼도록 하는 보다 명확하고 일관성 있는 논의전개를 제안하였다.

The increased concern about national security in the U.S. after the 9/11 terrorist attacks has influenced public rights of access to government information and its legal foundation, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Public access to government information has been restricted at the policy level by a series of legislative and executive changes in FOIA after September 11, 2001, but the examination of statistics on FOIA implementation between fiscal years 1999 and 2004 shows that the strengthened national security measures did not have a considerable impact at the implementation level during this period. These contrasting findings might be due to the public officials' informal reaction to the criticism of the restriction on public access, bureaucratic inertia, and the use of new record categories not subject to FOIA.

The debate on the treatment of animals has accelerated as a social issue in the West since the 1970s. In 1975, Peter Singers argued in his book, Animal Liberation, that speciesism should be banned. This led to an explosion in research on animal welfare in the philosophical and social sciences. Following Singer, Tom Regan suggested considering the animal rights as being on the same level as human rights. Their arguments were that animals should be imbued with some intrinsic weight sufficient enough to remind humans of their social responsibility to animals at least to a certain degree. In this regard, social responsibility for animal welfare as well as animal rights has formed an axis that organizes human morality in modern society. Such arguments regarding animal welfare can be perceived as an active and creative effort which accords with the free will of human beings who in Daesoon Thought are understood as facing the era of human nobility. This argumentation also aligns with the doctrine of grievance-resolution for mutual beneficence as a practical creed due to the way in which modern bioethics implies that animal welfare could become a practical communal morality integrated into legal systems prior to adoption as a system of individual morality. From within this context, this study discusses the nature and limits of modern animal welfare and animal rights from the perspective of the grievance-resolution which Kang Jeungsan promised to animals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' ethical dilemma and professionalism in long-term care hospitals. Participants in this study were 210 nurses working in 14 long-term care hospitals. Data analysis was done using SPSS / WIN 24.0 program. As a result of this study, the ethical dilemma of the nurse was moderate. The highest sub-area was 'nurse-patient relationship' and 'respect of life and human rights' was the lowest sub-area. The professionalism of the subjects was moderate, and the score of 'sense of mission' area was the lowest. Nursing ethics guidelines should be developed that reflect the ethical dilemma of nurses in long-term care hospitals, and will provide the right values for the ethical dilemma that nurses face in their workplace. When planning the nurses' professionalism education, it is necessary to have a strategy to enhance the sense of mission by emphasizing beliefs and values about nursing care.
