The proceedings will be published with the full papers, and we welcome written comments from all others present on the topics presented. I hope you all can take a few new ideas back home now, with more after time for digestion. I want to return to two points as a summary. First please consider the results of survey questions on approval of fetal diagnosis by different groups in Japan in the Figure below. The most supportive group is the families with muscular dystrophy, and the least supportive, members of Japan Association of Bioethics.
International surveys follow similar support levels.
How people use genetic tests for non-disease traits will depend on these attitudes, unless which is unlikely, uninhibited access is controlled. We can urge authorities to limit medical use, but most people spend more money on cosmetics, and aesthetics, than their health - a universal problem. Thank you, now we turn the chairmanship to Prof. Ueda. Dr. Boulyjenkov, Fujiki and then myself will give closing addresses.
