ABSTRACT

Precision medicine is one such trend that commands ever-increasing attention. However, the emergence of genomic research and precision medicine poses various ethical, legal, and social problems. Major countries have engaged in social discussions over an extensive period of time with the aim of establishing legal systems that seek to promote genomic research and precision medicine while ensuring an appropriate level of protection for personal information. This article aims to analyze the issues that may arise from the handling of personal information in precision medicine research and to suggest policy directions for precision medicine in Korea. To do this, we reviewed the main contents of Japan's Next Generation Medical Based Law. Korea will be taking its time and engaging in adequate, long-term social discussions in order to facilitate its efforts to establish a legal system that can promote the development of genomic research and precision medicine.
