Canlı-Merkezcilik İnsan-Merkezcilik Bağlamında Biyoetiği Yeniden Düşünmek

Abstract

The constant increase in the number of professional ethics and the frequent mentioning of ethics have led to the fashion of ethics, which has led to the characterization of the century by Ioanna Kuçuradi as an ethical century. The increasing popularity of ethics, the increasing number of applied or professional ethics, and the fact that it is becoming fashionable is a consequence of the increasing need for ethics. The increase in ethical problems, the emergence of some new ethical problems, and the inadequacy of traditional ethical views to cope with these problems are increasing the need for a radical change in a new ethical understanding today. One of the main reasons for this need is the rapid growth of the world population, the acceleration of scientific and technological developments and their application in an uncontrolled manner, system’s desire to produce / consume, which both makes the individual a commodity and destroys nature. It is also possible to link the emergence of bioethics to all these developments. But the main purpose of this thesis is not to examine how bioethics emerge. As much as the framework of the thesis requires this to be done, it criticizes essentially two aspects of bioethics. First, the difference between the meaning of the term "bioethics" when it first emerges and the meaning it is being used at will be noted. In this context, it is mentioned that the bioethics emerged as a response to a new ethical necessity, but then gradually became a profession ethic. Secondly, it will focus on the drawbacks of the bioethical principles, which are reduced to an applied ethic, and the consequences of this being based on human-centric ethical principles. In this context, it is expected that the nature of bioethics will be a living centrism, and the problems caused by the fact that bioethics is a human centric information field will be revealed. Finally it is the primary target of this thesis to demonstrate how the dilemma between biocentrism and antropocentrism can be overcomed when ethics, which is fundamentally antropocentric and is a result of human sensitivity, considers all living beings as ethic subjects
