BIOETIČKI ASPEKTI ZNANJA<br />
Historija znanja – ovdje mislimo, prije svega, na znanstveno znanje<br />
– jest i historija zla ili, blaže rečeno (?), historija ljudske patnje. Radikalna<br />
teza? Ne!<br />
Kopernikov obrat (da sunce, zapravo, ne izlazi i ne zalazi), na primjer,<br />
proizveo je u tadašnjoj Europi, dugotrajnu torturu, odnosno smrt gotovo<br />
svih istaknutih ljudi koji su se priklonili tom novom i (nota bene!) istinitom<br />
viđenju univerzuma. S druge strane, historija znanstvenih istraživanja, to<br />
jest znanstvenih pothvata koje su pojedinci i/ili znanstveni timovi provodili<br />
također je svojevrsna historija zla. Ta se episteme odnosi i na medicinska<br />
istraživanja. Historija medicinskih istraživanja – i to je ono što nas ovdje<br />
zanima – obiluje, naime, pravim horor-pričama.<br />
U ovom radu autor izlaže, s tim u vezi, nekoliko primjera iz historije<br />
moderne medicine, u kojima medicinska etika nije uspjela – a po nekima<br />
nije ni trebala – nametnuti svoje principe. To bi, međutim, bioetika, kao<br />
integrativni bioetički projekt, ne samo mogla nego i trebala učiniti.<br />
BIOETHICAL ASPECTS OF KNOWLEDGE<br />
The history of knowledge – regarding, primarily, scientific knowledge<br />
– has been (also) a history of evil or, in less rough terms (?), history of human<br />
suffering. A radical statement/thesis? No!<br />
The so-called Copernican Turn, (e.g. the understanding that the Sun<br />
actually does not rises or sets) brought about at the time (15th century) long<br />
lasting tortures, deaths or sufferings to almost all prominent people in Europe<br />
who accepted that entirely new and (nota bene!) true knowledge about<br />
the universe. On the other hand, the history of scientific research, namely<br />
of scientific endeavours that individuals – and/or teams of scientists – have<br />
carried out over the past centuries (millennia?), has also been full of evil<br />
acts, therefore it is a kind of history of human suffering. The episteme refers<br />
to medical research as well. The history of medical research – which<br />
is the main interest of this paper – is, in our opinion, a history of horror<br />
stories.<br />
