INTEGRATIVE BIOETHICS AND<br />

URGENT PROBLEMS OF CONTEMPORANEITY<br />

In certain social and historical periods some of man’s pressing issues<br />

become the focus of philosophical and scientific interest, due to their social<br />

and human relevance and urgency.<br />

Thus, the contemporary epoch encounters the problems of bioethics,<br />

i.e. moral reflection and behaving towards all life (bios) under the conditions<br />

of rapid technical development and the ecological crisis connected<br />

with it, as well as the biological and other endangerments in the contemporary<br />

world.<br />

The current discussions are, for instance, the ones of the beginning of<br />

individual human life, clinical and brain death, abortion, euthanasia, gene<br />

techniques problems, genetic engineering, therapeutic cloning, etc., and<br />

the social and moral justifiability of their possible results. The question is<br />

how to use this, without the existing dangers, for the benefit of human life<br />

and life in general.<br />

IMPLIKACIJE PRIMJENE TEHNOLOGIJE U MEDICINI<br />

Problematična de(re)konstrukcija temeljnih koncepata –<br />

bolesti, zdravlja i liječničke brige<br />

Tehnološki napredak u medicini nalazi svoje čvrsto uporište u dvije<br />

sukcesivne, ali međusobno čvrsto isprepletene paradigme koje vladaju medicinskom<br />

kulturom: biomedicinskoj paradigmi i paradigmi medikalizacije.<br />

I dok je zamašnjak prvom modalitetu medikalizacije primarno dao<br />

liječnik, zamašnjak novom modalitetu medikalizacije primarno daje tehnologija.<br />

Oslanjajući se sve više na tehnološke procedure i metode, ključna<br />

komponenta medikalizacije postaje danas »lov« na apsolutno zdravlje.<br />

Osim krajnje problematične de(re)konstrukcije koncepta bolesti i<br />

zdravlja, nove tehnologije dovode i do dekonstrukcije koncepta liječničke<br />

brige. Tehnološka medicina sa svojim zahtjevom za objektivnošću metode<br />
