The Litigation in Hokkaido Against the Old Eugenic Health Law in Japan

中文摘要

日本為求二戰後加速復甦,基於優生學概念而制定優生保護法,即本人或配偶患有遺傳性精神疾病、身體疾患或畸形,僅醫生認有必要則可強制絕育。事實上有許多受害者因可見的非遺傳性身體殘疾或家庭經濟不佳而被迫結紮,故受害者們於2018年陸續提起國賠訴訟,隔年仙台地方法院裁定優生保健法違憲。本件原告A因幼時高燒而智能障礙,與原告B婚後於1981年懷孕。原告主張B之弟媳C以智能障礙為由,迫A簽署人工流產同意書並同時施行絕育手術。札幌地方法院對比證詞後認為,原告並未提出醫生意見書或手術痕跡照片等證據,不能證明A於人工流產時,亦同時施行絕育手術;又事發時C尚且嫁入僅足1年,並無主導A進行絕育手術之地位;且無有力證據證明,人工流產手術是未經A同意。故法院駁回原告之訴。
