Sažetak
Integrative bioethics reflects, on the one hand, the dominant narrow focus of bioethics on biomedical ethics and, on the other, the fact that it is not only human life that is affected by scientific and technological developments. The dynamic growth of different fields of practice pushes for systematic mediations and at the same time moves beyond its definition as mere area ethics. Bioethics indicates the erosion of a formerly nature-teleologically oriented ethics by modern experimental natural sciences. A “new ethics” for the technological age must therefore clarify who or what should be excluded, included or integrated according to which empirical or ethical standards. In friction with an exclusionist medical ethics and an inclusionist animal rights ethics, it is shown that this requires an ethically reflexive conception of moral subjectivity that understands itself as responsible within the non-empirical horizon of universal human dignity and inalienable human rights.
