Before reading Morioka

     Before reading Morioka, I researched Morioka's 3B(background, biography, bias). He was born in Kouchi prefecture in 1958. Now, he is a professor of philosophy and ethics at Osaka Prefecture University , the director of Research Institute for Contemporary Philosophy of Life , and the editor-in-chief of Journal of Philosophy of Life. He studies "life" from various viewpoints: philosophy, bioethics, gender, environmental ethics, and civilization. As for brain death, he claimed that it is necessary that paitiants declare the will to give their internal organs. Yet, his political standpoint is not obvious.
