Abstract
Fritz Jahr, creator of the concept of bioethics, would have been happy to go to the cinema to see the film Avatar. He would have enthusiastically donned the darkened 3D glasses and enjoyed this movie that he had, in a way, already had a glimpse of over seventy years ago. Because when in 1927 he published his article "Bio-Ethik: Eine Umschau über die ethischen Beziehunge des Menschen zu Tier und Pfianze" ("Bioethics: A Review of the Ethical relationships of Humans to Animals and Plants") he was ahead of his time and he bequeathed us with what is rightly called a vision. This article is written as an acknowledgement of his work and dedicated to his memory.
