Abstract

Modern achievements of Medicine are spectacular, but the human life has been threatened from this progress. There is a demand for an ethical direction in science with the best possible minimalism. Modern ethics is in a state of crisis: there are some ethical dilemmas arising according to which society is wondering if and to which level it is legal and feasible medical research to cross some boundaries. Human being focused research should be driven by respect for genetic identity of a human being for the protection of anyone who participates. Researchers should pay respect and protect human rights as well as citizen rights and therefore neither taking part in illegitimate inequitable and segregative practices deliberately, nor convincing at them. Some dilemmas arising directly as far as the medical research ethics is concerned, as well as to “when it can be moral or not.” Bioethics is not coming to put a halt on progress, on the contrary it is coming to prove those safeguards that will ensure the respect for human dignity, autonomy and meritocratic living.
