Abstract

The process of spreading scientific and technical achievements is an
anthropological phenomenon that is difficult to stop, because this is, as it were,
the ontological determinant of modern man. Societies, especially over the past
two centuries, have been facing the challenging task of balancing between the
scientific freedom of research and preservation of social norms and values.
The authors are of the opinion that the existing predominantly heteronomous
constraints, although necessary, are not sufficient if the scientists themselves
do not develop the awareness that they should follow the general humanistic
moral principles and principles of scientific criticality. Finally, in the ambivalent
period of strengthening the social and technical-technological effects of science,
it is necessary to bioethically codify the issue of social responsibility of scientists
which, due to its adequate internalisation, should be an integral part of their
upbringing and education from the earliest days.
