Following a discussion of law and rights in Japan from an historical perspective, the author examines the question of what life is in contemporary Japan and focuses on problematic areas which have arisen in life issues, including infringements of the right to life within the modern company organization, and by the state, as well as the question of the equality of the right to life. Zusammenfassung The 1947 Constitution confers on Japanese citizens the 'right to life'. Williams examines the meaning of this right, discussing abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment and 'karoshi' - death through overwork.
