Aktualno sagledavanje Potterove globalne bioetike kao mosta između kliničke (personalizirane) i javnozdravstvene etike

Abstract

In the context of modern scientific and technological developments in biomedicine and health care, and the potential consequences of their application on humans and the environment, Potter’s global bioethics concept resurfaces. By actualizing Potter’s original thoughts on individual bioethical issues, the universality of two of his books, which today represent the backbone of the world bioethical literature, “Bioethics – Bridge to the Future” and “Global Bioethics: Building on the Leopold Legacy”, is emphasized. Potter’s global bioethics today can legitimately be viewed as a bridge between clinical personalized ethics on the one hand and ethics of public health on the other.U kontekstu suvremenih znanstveno-tehnoloških dostignuća u biomedicini i zdravstvu i potencijalnih posljedica primjene za čovjeka i okoliš na površinu isplivava Potterov globalni bioetički koncept. Aktualizirajući izvorne Potterove misli na pojedine bioetičke teme ukazuje se na svevremenost dviju njegovih knjiga koje i danas predstavljaju okosnicu svjetske bioetičke literure: “Bioethics – Bridge to the Future” te “Global Bioethics: Building on the Leopold Legacy”. Potterova globalna bioetika danas se legitimno može promatrati kao most između kliničke personalizirane etike s jedne strane odnosno etike javnog zdravstva s druge
