Abstract

The issue of the significance and importance of moral theory to moral reasoning and moral decisions also accompanies ethical discourse between ethics and bioethics, especially in recent decades, as the issue itself is of a theoretical nature. The presence and functionality of moral theory when reasoning in dilemma situations does not only provide the apparatus for decision-making, but even a deeper understanding of responsibility and commitment when anticipating and preventing such situations. Ethics, however, is not a matter of science, but primarily it is a matter of a human view, which in real life must be promoted while dealing with real "human" dilemmas and conflicts. Bioethics education encounters all the pitfalls of current theory and practice, science and ethics. The issues of bioethics are a very topical phenomenon of real life, which has brought about complex issues that man faces and whose solutions have neither theoretical nor empirical parallels with the past. This refers to current and pressing questions that are directly related to life and its intimate sphere.
