PRINCIPLES IN BIOETHICS

Summary/Abstract: The question of moral issues in biomedical science is discussed by the author from the point of establishment of moral principles as prerequisites of moral action in medical practice. The author defines biomedical principles as the basic norms in a system of norms determined for moral contemplation, with the fundamental task of indicating morally relevant features of specific circumstances. Therefore, the system of biomedical principles is not, and cannot be, solely a system of personal beliefs and optional norms. The distribution of biomedical principles, the nature of these principles and the need for their specification is the central topic of this article.
