Abstract

Today Bioethics is very important and complex field of thinking and activity. Even though it is a young science, it is on top of human's necessities and visions. Every day some new questions enter in the centre of bioethical mind, issues and discussions above all. Meanwhile, a lot of efforts are invested in debates whether bioethics is and must be bounded primarily on the medical sphere (medicine, vet, nursery, pharmacy, biological investigations treating human lives…) or it is more correct to treat bioethics as a broader, large discipline, like some modern practical ethics, in general. These questions, which cause scientific argues, cannot be solved empirically - each one stands still in this debate for the moment! That’s why good faith and collaboration of all experts who have duty to promote bioethics and its benefits are more than needed.
At the same time, knowing this, the bioethical education cannot wait the definitive settlement of the scientific dissertation and the scientific purity of bioethics or the specific status of bioethics as professional or general science and practice, meaning whether the nature of bioethics is primarily biological or ethical. Knocking strong at our doors, many problems of health, environment pollution, violence, conflicts, human indolence, criminal deeds, as well as bad behaviors of different kinds comes to the core of the humankind. All of those problems are searching serious and fast human action. That’s why it is very important to introduce bioethical education to all people!
In reality, the bioethical praxis and science started the same time as the development of ethical education, which included all young people (as well as older, if possible!). It is so because a bioethical theme complex is a matter not only for scientists and specialists, but concerns also every human - even all living and non-living beings on Earth - so everyone must be educated in this new and complicated area, which is together spiritual and technical.
