Summary/Abstract: According to the biotechnological domination of nature, contemporary man has took despotic and dominant role above the whole created ambience, not respecting its intrinsic legality of the original being created, limited natural resources and the inability of their recovery. Stimulation to the bioethical discourse comes with the facts: of global deterioration of living conditions on Earth, past achievements and progressive possibilities of science and technology, particularly in bio- and gen-technology, as also by the increased awareness of their possible irrational consequences. Bio-technology, bio-industry and bio-economy of modern industrial society are developing world trade of natural resources, based on the evaluation by instrumental use of nature, led by their pragmatically interests which disregard ethical imperatives. Consequence of man’s aggression on biosphere is resulting as an environmental degradation and »ecocidium«.
