Title: The last lecture: bioethics of happiness, with a special reference to the five senses and the reward system of the brain in secular spiritual care
Abstract: Happiness has a long-lasting tradition as a subject of philosophical and ethical thinking. Bioethics deals with problematic issues derived from life in general or those from human suffering in particular. Naturally, the theme relating to happiness or love which is reflection of joy, pleasure and affection is not a common subject to deal with in bioethics education. But, there has been a need from students to learn the implication of happiness and love in bioethics. Since happiness and love are essential elements for human being, their wishes are quite reasonable. The author has chosen the title “Bioethics of Happiness” as the memorial last lecture in his university career in response to a students’ need.
