Sažetak
In bioethics we often meet with the interpretation according to which bioethical principles are defined as newly found ethical standards that should serve as guiding directions through moral action when solving ethical and bioethical issues. Equally, the study of principles directs to the content of each primary bioethical principle (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice) that embodies at least two options for solving a specific case, and how the use of one principle announces a conflict with the other. Since the matter in question concerns equally important principles, this raises the question of how to choose the principle that will guarantee an ethical correctness of the decision? On top of that, the nature of bioethical problems continuously points to their complexity brought on by numerous, mutually linked, but often opposed, or even, exclusive contents. All this suggests that the employment of bioethical principles is a much demanding procedure since a decision must be made between two equal possibilities, and the chosen option must not put the decision maker into circumstances in which there will remain the issue whether the correct decision was made or it would have been more correct to choose another possibility? The necessity of such a procedure is a weighing that should clearly express reasons and justification for making a decision, and through which dilemmas surrounding the decision made should disappear. Regarding the knowledge to which decision making dependant of a choice between one or more equal possibilities is termed a dilemma, a situation where reasons for the use of appropriate ethical principles is assessed, and through such assessment between two or more ethical principles only one necessary for solving the bioethical problem is found, we term as the bioethical dilemma. Following this, it results that the knowledge of contents and meanings of principles is established as a necessary condition for solving bioethical dilemmas and for ethical acting. Consequently, the contents conception, investigation and finding appropriate educational strategies, and foreseeing the educational result, should be observed as a special challenge of the bioethical education programme.
