Sažetak
On grounds of three paradigmatic stances in bioethical discourse we will introduce the level of their dependence on their leading notions. All trough, we mustn’t exclude a certain point of view out of bioethical discourse just because it implies a metaphysical foundation. In fact, on a morally-philosophical level, every stance should be judged first as a theoretically immanent, considering whether it evolves its criteria consistently out of the leading notions which could be rationally founded. Successively, different views may join into a dialogue which allows the occurrence of potential one-sidedness. Only this second step is concerning legally-ethical explanation with a morally-philosophical correcture of ethical criteria, in case that a legally-ethical consideration doesn’t give us a possibility to prevent the danger of instrumentalisation in a proper manner. Only after, the aim to translate the religious potentials of explanation into a common language can be set, and the secular views would have to be left concealed. Ethics of law should certainly be able to reflect its results using morally-philosophical relevant intuitions, so approach, mainly oriented towards interests, could be questioned.
