Ten Years of Bioethics on Lošinj
On the occasion of the “round-number” anniversary of the scientificcultural
manifestation The Lošinj Days of Bioethics – which has grown
in the past 10 years into a most important bioethical conference in this
part of Europe – we will recall the history and prehistory of The Lošinj
Days of Bioethics, and present numerical indicators as well as content
reviews that speak of the range and extent of The Days. Doing so, we
will try to show that The Lošinj Days of Bioethics have played a key
role in the development of bioethics in Croatia and South-East Europe,
together with networking Croatian and South-East European bioethicists
with their colleagues from other parts of Europe and the world, and that
they have contributed to the development of the innovative concept of
integrative bioethics, which is already recognised in the world bioethical
discussion.
Due to the fact that the year 2011 marks the 100th birth and 10th death
anniversary of Van Rensselaer Potter, regarded as the “father of bioethics”,
we will use this opportunity also to reminisce on his persona and work,
and reproduce the greeting message and the lecture on bioethics in the 21st
century, which Potter addressed, in an audio-visual form, just a few months
prior to his death, to the international conference “Bioethics and Science in
the New Epoch”, held in Mali Lošinj in 2001.
Deset godina bioetike na lošinju
U povodu »okrugle« obljetnice znanstveno-kulturne manifestacije Lošinjski
dani bioetike – koja je u svojih deset godina izrasla u najznačajniji
bioetički skup u ovom dijelu Europe – podsjetit ćemo na povijest i
predpovijest Lošinjskih dana bioetike, te iznijeti kako brojčane pokazatelje
tako i sadržajne osvrte koji govore o opsegu i dosegu Danâ. Pritom ćemo
nastojati pokazati da su Lošinjski dani bioetike odigrali ključnu ulogu u razvoju
bioetike u Hrvatskoj i jugoistočnoj Europi, te umrežavanju hrvatskih
i jugoistočno-europskih bioetičara s kolegama iz drugih dijelova Europe i
