Sažetak
Public controversy in Croatia over genetic modification technology is reflected in the work of the Bioethics Commission established in 1999 by the Government of the Republic of Croatia to monitor the placement issue on the market of products that contain or consist of genetically modified products. After termination of the Bioethics Committee, and in accordance with the Law on GMOs in 2005, establishes the Council for GMOs which began operating in 2009. Since autumn 2017, operates the third convocation of the Council for GMOs. In this paper, I will be through a brief historical overview look at the key moments of action Bioethics Committee, controversy and conflicting opinions of members of Bioethics Committees, and will be apparent that the technology of genetic modification remains and is controversial technology to the public and the scientific community. Controversy, conflicting opinions and actions of members of the Council for GMOs determine the effect of the first session of the Council for GMOs. From the historical review of action Bioethics Commission and the Council for GMOs, we can conclude that the issues of genetically modified crops will continue to be a controversial issue of strong opposition to the opponents and drivers of this technology. Historical analysis has shown that despite the problems, action of Bioethics Commission is extremely significant for the process of institutionalization of bioethical ideas in Croatia.
