Sažetak
The idea of Mediterranean bioethics is from its beginning extremely critical towards any radical confrontations with other cultural models within the field of bioethics. The idea of Mediterranean bioethics aims to promote a dialog and pave the way towards logical and value-oriented bonding between classical tradition of virtue ethics and modern deontological approaches encompassing in its discussions important elements of critical historical evaluation of both approaches. Ethics plays a central role in the idea of Mediterranean bioethics based on the virtue of friendships as the foundation of any quality interpersonal relationship. Such approach of interpersonal relationship is not based on procedures and contracts but on the trust that we have for each other as human beings. The following questions will be addressed in this contribution: Is there such a thing as regional Mediterranean bioethics at all and what are its foundations? Who are proponents of this approach? What is the relationship between Mediterranean bioethics and other regional approaches to bioethics that come from the same cultural background that of a western cultural circle but who differ methodologically and epistemologically from the Mediterranean bioethics? What are specific historical roots of Mediterranean bioethics and their relationship in connection to the human being and society? Is there something to be drawn from the Mediterranean bioethics that can bring a novelty to today’s development of our scientifically and technically oriented societies?
