| Summary: | Bien que les premières formes de dispositions juridiques concernant la recherche médicale en Croatie (l’ex-Yougoslavie) soient entrées en vigueur au cours des années 1970 (réglementation du travail des "commissions pour les drogues"), une présence plus active et l’impact de la loi au sein de la bioéthique remontent aux années 1990. A côté de la nouvelle Loi sur la Protection de la Santé (1997) - les articles 51 et 52 exigent l’établissement de comités d’éthique et réglementent le cadre de leurs devoirs, l’introduction et le succès de la loi sont une conséquence de changements politiques et de l’ouverture internationale, influençant l’éducation, la recherche, la santé et la politique sociale. La progression ultérieure de la discipline juridique au sein de la bioéthique est à noter non seulement en ce qui concerne le travail d’éminents experts juridiques, mais aussi dans le courant dominant de la bioéthique croate, en particulier la Bioéthique Intégrante d’Ante Čović.L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier les principaux représentants de la perspective et de la discipline juridiques au sein des tendances bioéthiques modernes en Croatie, ainsi que de clarifier quelques-unes des nombreuses influences fascinantes. Today, we know that it was the German theologian and teacher Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) who first used the term "bioethics" (Bio-Ethik) and first concieved it as a new discipline in his paper from 1926. The discovery of his work, occurred around 1997, imposed the necessity of re-writing all bioethics histories, but also bioethics definitions. While the work of Fritz Jahr was neglected for seven decades, a more general concern for the discrepancy between human technological/biomedical progress and human readiness to conscientiously make use of it, has continuosly been present primarily among scientists who have felt the imminency of the danger. Therefore, it is no wonder that a researcher of oncological biochemistry, the University of Wisconsin Professor Van Rensselaer Potter (1911-2001), gave form and direction to such concerns in his 1970 paper “Bioethics: The science of survival” and, subsequently, in his book Bioethics: Bridge to the Future. Although the motives, etimology, and aims of Jahr’s and Potter’s concepts of bioethics were quite different, it remains a historical and epistemological curiousity how, in two such separate parts of the world and in two such different periods of time, without in any way being linked, these two somehow still similar ideas did emerge.Unlike Jahr’s work, nevertheless, Potter’s was immediately saved from oblivion by André Hellegers (1926-1979), a Dutch-American obstetrician and fetal physiologist who founded Georgetown University’s Joseph and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Institute of Ethics in Washington, D..., Athough, first forms of legal provisions concerning medical research in Croatia (ex Yugoslavia) came into force during 1970s (regulating work of "commissions for drugs"), more vivid presence and impact of law within bioethics can be traced in the 1990s. Beside the new Law on Health Protection (1997) - articles 51 and 52 requiring the establishment of ethics committees and regulating the framework of their duties, the introduction and the success of the law occured as a consequence of political changes and international opening, influencing education, research, health and social policies. Later progression of the legal discipline within bioethics can be noticed not only with respect to the work of prominent legal experts, but also the main tide of Croatian bioethics, particularly the Integrative Bioethics of Ante Čović.The aim of this paper is to detect the main representatives of legal perspective and discipline within modern bioethical trends in Croatia, as well as to clarify some of the many intriguing mutal influences. |
