REFLECTIONS ON DEMOCRACY AND BIOETHICS: NEW DEMOCRATIC AND BIOETHICAL FUNDAMENTALISM

REFLECTIONS ON DEMOCRACY AND BIOETHICS: NEW DEMOCRATIC AND BIOETHICAL FUNDAMENTALISM

Abstract

Безусловно и неопровержимо то, что демократия для западного мира – лучшая система управления и что благодаря свободе слова можно подвергнуть сомнению и положить на весы правосудия даже саму демократию. Аналогичным образом биоэтика, возникшая в сфере биологических и медицинских наук, распространилась за пределы гуманитарного знания, а общество осознало, что мы живем на невозобновляемой планете. Однако мы не можем игнорировать и то, что демократия и биоэтика порождены не народом, а элитой, которая размышляет о лучшем мире в соответствии с собственными предпочтениями, а не мнением подавляющего большинства обычных людей.

It is indubitable and irrefutable that democracy is the best government system that exists in the occidental world and that thanks to it, freedom of expression allows to even question it and put it on the justice balance. Similarly, bioethics born in the world of biological and health sciences, has transcended to the humanities and society has become aware that we live in a nonrenewable planet. However, we cannot overlook that both democracy and bioethics are not born from populus, but from an elite who dreams of a better world according to their dreams and not those of the vast majority of ordinary people.

Безумовним та неспростовним є те, що демократія для західного світу – краща система управління і що завдяки свободі слова можна піддати сумніву та покласти на терези правосуддя навіть саму демократію. Так само й біоетика, що виникла у сфері біологічних та медичних наук, поширилась за межі гуманітарного знання, а суспільство усвідомило, що ми живемо на невідновлювальній планеті. Однак ми не можемо нехтувати тим, що демократія та біоетика породжені не народом, а елітою, яка уявляє кращий світ відповідно до власних уподобань, а не думок переважної більшості звичайних людей.
