Sažetak
The most controversial issues in field of medicine, biotechnology, or ecology involve both scientific uncertainty and expert conflicts. Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are a typical example raising relevant questions: What is a risk of genetic pollution? What are the chances that GMOs will solve the global problem of hunger? What is a connection between GMO food and the rise in allergies? To address these questions one can invoke precautionary principle (Vorsorgeprinzip). This is a European way of dealing with scientific uncertainty, and it calls for preventive measures without waiting all the necessary scientific data are available. This principle is based on common sense and presents a moral paradigma in situations of scientific conflicts. The implementation of the preacutionary principle will be presented within the topic of GMO safety.
