Autor polazi od teze da rasprava o novoj bioetičkoj paradigmi mora obuhvatiti ne samo ljudski život nego i život kao takav i proširiti čovjekovu moralnu odgovornost za život uopće.
Nastajanje novog ...okoliša (oikosa) potiče stvaranje novih oblika biosa. Od domesticiranja čovjek je dospio do genetske manipulacije. Odluke o biosu i oikosu danas izmiču iz ruku znanosti i kontroli društva. Bios postaje istodobno najugroženija i najtraženija roba na me|unarodnoj »tržnici života«.
Moderno društvo je »ekološkom ignorancijom« reduciralo život na ljudski život, a njegovu vrijednost na ljudsku vrijednost, pa se i bioetika jedino njime bavila. Bioetički diskurs šansa je da se život razumije u njegovom iskonskom značenju: oblik živoga u kojemu živi neki život.
Oblikovanje umjetnog okoliša i oblikovanje novog čovjeka obilježje je ljudske evolucije, a mjera tog oblikovanja obilježje je čovjekove kulture. Tako nastaje novo »društveno prirodno stanje«. Osnova budućeg društva ne može biti samo tehnički napredak. Priznavanje bio rights kao univerzalno pravo živoga, osnova je human rights. Zato se autor zalaže da se u bioetički diskurs uključe i pitanja što proizlaze iz nove realnosti: bioekonomije, bioindustrije, biotehnologije i biopolitike.
Novi izazovi bioetičkom diskursu proizlaze iz nepoznavanja budućih oblika društvenosti, a time i budućih vrijednosti koje odre|uju moralno prosu|ivanja ljudskog ne/djelovanja. (Bio)etika ne stvara moralne norme već ih reflektira, pa je otvoreno pitanje tko će i na kojim oblicima društvenosti u tehničkoj civilizaciji stvarati moral.
This book examines the European governance of emerging security technologies.The emergence of technologies such as drones, autonomous robotics, artificial intelligence, cyber and biotechnologies has ...stimulated worldwide debates on their use, risks and benefits in both the civilian and the security-related fields. This volume examines the concept of ‘governance’ as an analytical framework and tool to investigate how new and emerging security technologies are governed in practice within the European Union (EU), emphasising the relational configurations among different state and non-state actors. With reference to European governance, it addresses the complex interplay of power relations, interests and framings surrounding the development of policies and strategies for the use of new security technologies. The work examines varied conceptual tools to shed light on the way diverse technologies are embedded in EU policy frameworks. Each contribution identifies actors involved in the governance of a specific technology sector, their multilevel institutional and corporate configurations, and the conflicting forces, values, ethical and legal concerns, as well as security imperatives and economic interests.This book will be of much interest to students of science and technology studies, security studies and EU policy.
An Introduction to Ethical, Safety and Intellectual Property Rights Issues in Biotechnology provides a comprehensive look at the biggest technologies that have revolutionized biology since the early ...20th century, also discussing their impact on society. The book focuses on issues related to bioethics, biosafety and intellectual property rights, and is written in an easy-to-understand manner for graduate students and early career researchers interested in the opportunities and challenges associated with advances in biotechnology. Important topics covered include the Human Genome Project, human cloning, rDNA technology, the 3Rs and animal welfare, bioterrorism, human rights and genetic discrimination, good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices, the protection of biological material and much more. Full of relevant case studies, practical examples, weblinks and resources for further reading, this book offers an essential and holistic look at the ways in which biotechnology has affected our global society. Provides a comprehensive look at the ethical, legal and social implications of biotechnologyDiscusses the global efforts made to resolve issuesIncorporates numerous case studies to more clearly convey concepts and chart the development of guidelines and legislation regulating issues in biotechnologyTakes a straightforward approach to highlight and discuss both the benefits and risks associated with the latest biotechnologies
