Development of Bioethics in Croatia

Luka Tomašević ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Split

Abstract

Bioethics is a topic that we daily come across, the topic of which we need to know at least the basic terms, but also the topic most frequently discussed in the world today. It is discussed by the people of all scientific and non-scientific profiles. It is discussed from a religious, cultural, philosophical, legal, sociological, and even political viewpoint. Croatia is known for bioethics all over the world. With a few “pioneers”, in various environments, bioethics in Croatia has spread through a theological-Catholic aspect, then through the Rijeka bioethical school of bioethical education and mediation, and through the Zagreb philosophical trend where the integrative bioethics has originated, today already accepted as a Croatian independent way of bioethics. In his work the author presents the history of bioethical trends and emphasizes the main protagonists, and at the end he mentions the ISCB (International Society of Clinical Bioethics) started by a Rijeka bio ethicist, late Prof. Dr. Ivan Šegota.
