Sažetak
The importance of Bioethics in teaching physicions could be substantiate by the seeing of the "father of bioethics" - professor Van Renselaer Potter II, who has always observed bioethics as new discipline wich will be link between knowledge end reflection, dinamic admission in human neverending pursuit of the wisdome ; knowledge how to use the knowledge for the human survival and the quality of life. With the main aim to find out the ethics value connecting bioethics and palliative medicine the attention is focused on 4 basic principes of modern medical ethics – bioethics: beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy and justice. Palliative medicine is the medical discipline focused on the relief of suffering and the promotion of quality of life. The term "palliative care" may be used generally to refer to any care that alleviates symptoms even if there is hope of a cure by other means ; thus a recent WHO statement calls palliative care "an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness." Palliative care relief from suffering, focused on the treatment of pain and other distressing symptoms, psychological and spiritual care and on the ethical aspects in end-of.life care and support system to help the individual live as actively as possible, and a support system to sustain and rehabilitate the individual's family. Beside the relife from suffering, psyhosocial aspects the patients and caregivers very important part of palliative care/medicine are the bioethical aspects of care. Due to the emphasis it places on clinical activity, clinical bioethics greatly depends on the interaction of clinicians and patients in everyday repression of diseases. In palliative medicine that is conditio sine qua non for quality and human care for patient.
