ing them once the pain is eliminated, regardless of the fact that the cause<br />

of the pain still exists. Thereby the patients are deprived of opioids as the<br />

most efficient and safest medications for the long-term treatment of cancer<br />

pain. The fear physicians have in terms of usage of opioids for treatment of<br />

cancer pain is irrational and undocumented. In the era of medical advances<br />

and technological development, the fact that an obstacle to the adequate<br />

medication of cancer-related pain, called opiophobia, still exists is unacceptable.<br />

Pharmacotherapy, when applied properly, ensures elimination of<br />

cancer pain in more than 75% of cases.<br />

INTEGRATIVNA BIOETIKA I<br />

URGENTNI PROBLEMI SUVREMENOSTI<br />

U pojedinim društveno-povijesnim razdobljima neka goruća čovjekova<br />

pitanja i teme, zbog njihove društvene i humane relevantnosti i urgentnosti,<br />

u središtu su filozofijskoga i znanstvenoga interesa.<br />

Tako se i suvremena epoha susreće s problemima <strong>bioetike</strong>, tj. moralne<br />

refleksije i ponašanja spram svekolikoga života (bios) u uvjetima rapidnoga<br />

tehničkog razvoja i ekološke krize s time povezane, te biološke i drugih<br />

ugroženosti u suvremenome svijetu.<br />

Danas su, npr., aktualne rasprave o početku pojedinačnoga ljudskog života,<br />

kliničke i moždane smrti, pobačaju, eutanaziji, o problemima genskih<br />

tehnika, genetskoga inženjeringa, terapijskoga kloniranja i sl., te društvene<br />

i moralne opravdanosti njihovih mogućih rezultata. Pitanje je: kako to<br />

bez opasnosti, koje postoje, uporabiti za dobrobit ljudskoga života i života<br />

uopće?<br />
