Bioethics T-KAP-SJ>bioety-9
Bioethics has three parts: general, specialized and clinical. The last is reserved to the Medical faculties - it requires good medical knowledge to find the solutions to particular cases).
There are some topics within the General Bioethics concerning its basic issues: its history and definition, the history of ethical reflection concerning medcine, theoretical models within Bioethcis, basic principles of the Catholic Bioethics.
The Specialized Bioethics covers various situations in the human life: its beginning (genetics and the situation of genetic diseases - genetic diagnosis, genetic therapy, cloning, eugenics, transhumanism), the transmission of the human life (contraception, abortion, the medical support to the transmission of the human life, eg. AIH, AID, IVF, GIFT, surrogate motherhood), the continuation of the jeopardized human life (transplantation and xenotranplantatiom), the final stage of the human life (euthanasia, the futile therapy and palliative care). There are some other issues which are presented during the lecture: the use of ordinary and extraordinary means, the double effect principle, the transmission of medial information.
