Sažetak
In this contribution, I discuss some of Kant’s impulses for modern bioethics based on his ethical standards, showing how they align with contemporary issues and how they help develop answers to new types of questions. First, I analyse the living environment and present Kant as a thinker about self-organising beings, attempting to show some perspectives for current debates on animal and environmental ethics. I then focus on the question of a human being as a dignified being. In this context, I discuss the question of whether a Neanderthal would count as a dignified being if it were possible to breed him in a research laboratory. Finally, by introducing cybrids and brain chimaeras, I discuss the project of creating human-animal mixtures.
