bioethics as an academic discipline in higher education for biologists and biotechnologists

 

What could be more harmful than person

who has knowledge of the most difficult

science, but has a good heart?

In general sense under social progress we understand such direction of development of society, which stipulates the improvement of socio-economic, socio-political and socio-cultural terms of people life. From this point of view it’s possible to formulate next direction of development of society which is stipulated bioethics.

Functioning of bioethics unavoidable results in progressive development of many areas of life of society, in particular scientific and technical and socio-political spheres. Bioethics produce all more severe requirements to the terms of scientific and technical developments, that, in same queue, induces research workers and industrialists to develop new, more safe and progressive technologies. Investigation of such swift development of biological and family technologies is an obvious necessity of not only management but also their legal adjusting. Last, in same queue, not possible without serious development of bioethics [1-3].

Realization of requirements of bioethics is carried out specialists who conduct scientific and technical developments – create new technologies on molecular and cellular levels, develop technologies of industrial issue of biotechnological products. For this reason the inalienable constituent of elucidative preparation of future biotechnologists is a study and research of biosafety and package of questions of bioethics [4-5].

Forming of the proper world view of future specialists-biotechnologists on Faculty of biotechnology and bioengineering of National technical university of Ukraine “Kiev polytechnic institute” is carried out within the framework of educational course “Biosafety and bioethics”.

Thus, an indissoluble triad is a biotechnology, biosafety and bioethics – is the noticeable factor of progress of society influencing of which in a ХХІ century will grow unavoidable. That is why will grow and influencing and responsibility of elucidative industry in forming of bioethical world view of specialists-biotechnologists [2].

Bioethics presents more stringent requirements for scientific and technical developments. The consequence of the rapid development of biological and medical technologies is a clear need not only management but also their regulation. The latter, in turn, is not possible without serious developing of bioethical issues. The purpose of work is determined by necessity to collate data on the legal regulation of bioethical issues in biomedicine, biotechnology and pharmacy, and study the content of bioethics as a discipline. Legislation of Ukraine based on the fundamental international documents. There is a constant need to improve regulatory policy in bioethics through more and more scientific and technological progress and rejection of the part of society of bioethical norms as a base of philosophy biotech, medical and pharmaceutical activities. Evidently, there is need for implementation of bioethics in educational programs for training specialists in biology, biotechnology, medicine and pharmacy as mandatory ideological components.
