Is There a Need for Bioethical Education in the Academic Community?

Preliminary communication

Abstract

Bioethics and bioethical sensibility are terms that we encounter more and more often in recent times. Under these terms, social opportunities are processed, analyzed and commented on from a moral, scientific and religious perspective, as well as from the perspective of human rights and life in general. In order for members of society to be able to actively participate in such analyses, comments and discussions, it is necessary to develop personal opinions on bioethical issues, and this can be achieved through adequate education, especially at university level when critical thinking competence is sufficiently developed to reach your own conclusions. This paper analyzes and presents the views on the need for bioethical education among doctoral students of interdisciplinary doctoral studies at the Faculty of Education in Osijek.
