The purpose of this survey was to determine whether there are differences in the knowledge, opinions, and way of thinking about state-of-the-art health care and bioethics among students from different disciplines who attended bioethics-related classes in departments of medicine, Buddhist studies, social welfare, and dietetics. The survey was conducted with 303 students in 4 departments in 3 universities by a questionnaire completed by each person. Some differences were found among the disciplines in self-evaluation concerning knowledge of "bioethics" (p<0.01). On the other hand, there were no significant differences among the disciplines in opinions or ideas concerning bioethical topics such as "development of research" and "organ sale". Experience with study in the academic field or biology made a difference in students' self-evaluation concerning knowledge of bioethics, but did not affect answers to questions regarding opinions or ideas. This held true for a comparison between students (n=169) who took classes on bioethics and those who did not. It appeared that while self-evaluation regarding knowledge of bioethics was enhanced by study experience, opinions and ideas on bioethics were significantly correlated with study experience.
