Although it does not seem so at first glance, the COVID-19 pandemic did not make any fundamental changes, both in terms of the socio-economic framework of our actions and in terms of moral action. The reason for this lies primarily in the neglect of the utopian approach, which turned out to be necessary for looking at the socio-economic relations in the sphere of morality. Bioethics can provide a framework for such an in-depth moral questioning. I start this paper with the presentation of the attitude toward the pandemic, which remains within the parameters the inalterability of the world dogma. I then briefly ponder the notion of utopia and the concept of ‘degrowth’, the latter being an exemplary utopian approach to the human relationship toward the environment. Since the destructive attitude toward nature is the main cause of pandemic outbreaks, and both issues are of interest to bioethics, the latter should consider the attitude towards pandemics in a utopian way, primarily because the human destructiveness towards life stems primarily from the current socio-economic system. A characteristic of non-utopian thinking is that it neglects the reasons for the occurrence of certain moral conflicts, thus enabling it to be constantly perpetuated. As I try to show in the last part of the paper, the pluri-perspective methodology of integrative bioethics provides the tools to thwart this perpetuation.Premda na prvi pogled tako ne izgleda, pandemija COVID-19 malo je toga fundamentalno promijenila, kako po pitanju društveno-ekonomskih okvira našeg djelovanja, tako i po pitanju moralnog djelovanja. Razlog je prije svega u zanemarivanju utopijskog pristupa, a potreba zaovim ispostavlja se upravo u nezaobilaznosti razmatranja društveno-ekonomskih odnosa usferi morala. Okvir za takvo dubinsko moralno propitivanje može pružiti bioetika. U radu polazim od prikaza odnosa prema pandemiji koji ostaje u gabaritima dogme nepromjenljivosti svijeta. Prelazim zatim na kratko razmatranje pojma utopije i koncepta ‘odrasta’, kao oglednog utopijskog pristupa čovjekovu odnosu spram okoliša. Kako je upravo razoran odnos spram prirode osnovni uzrok izbijanja pandemija, a oba problema pripadaju interesu bioetike,potonja bi u razmatranju odnosa spram pandemije trebala nastupiti utopijski, prije svegazato što čovjekovu destruktivnost spram života prvenstveno potiče trenutačni društveno-ekonomski sistem. Značajka neutopijskog mišljenja je da pri razmatranju izvjesnog moralnog konflikta zanemaruje razloge njegova nastanka, pa time omogućuje da se on stalno perpetuira. Upravo pluriperspektivna metodologija integrativne bioetike, kako nastojim pokazati uzadnjem dijelu, pruža alate da se takvo što osujeti
