Integrate Bioethics in the New Epoch
Hans-Martin Sass
; Reston, VA, United States
Sažetak
The new epoch of the 21th century develops new globally interrelated and interacting high-tech and cyberspace based civilizations and rapid transitions and other interactions between old and new models of life, orientation and behavior. Bio-logy and socio-logy describe bios as interrelated interactions of living beings and biotopes, natural, cultural, technical. The concept of bio-ethics in the New Epoch has to be inclusive in integrating natures, technologies, and cultures. The potential for catastrophe or cultivation depends on strengthening and integrating the six basic bioethical human properties, attitudes, and virtues – communication and cooperation, competence and compassion, competition and cultivation. These 6 C-principles have empirically and historically been successful in cultivating harmonious bios, i.e. living-together in interrelation environmentally, economically, politically and culturally. The six biological C-properties are natural human capacities and can be found in all religions and cultures. They also have to serve as essential preconditions and components for the successful and comfortable survival of individuals, communities, cultural and natural environments and biotopes in the New Epoch. We could demonstrate and evidence their importance by situational analyses on conflict resolution, poverty, community culture, business success, politics, health care, medical intervention, and challenges such as the understandings of sexuality, aging, harmony, and happiness.
