Summary/Abstract: In the paper, the author deals with the history of attempts to defame integrative bioethics by a group of Croatian philosophers and incidental media appearances in which the tendency was to slander the long-standing research concept of the Zagreb bioethics school. In the introduction, a historical overview of the basic qualitative and quantitative results of integrative bioethics in the Croatian and European context is given. This is followed by an analysis of the context of defamation of integrative bioethics and the actors of defamation, separated according to “scientific” and media content. Finally, the attempt to compromise and profane integrative bioethics is interpreted as part of the destrolution phenomenon, the theory of post-communist chaos and the production of fake envy.
