“…Eine Umschau über dies ethischen Beziehungen des Menschen Zu Tier und Pflanze, which was later mentioned in a conference by Rolf Löther in 1997" [7]. After the discovery of his work in 1997, Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) has gradually acknowledged as the author of the term and concept of Bioethics [8]. The name of US political activist Sargent Shriver is also mentioned in the literature as a pioneer who used the term 'bioethics' in 1970 when they opened the Joseph and Rose Kennedy Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and Bioethics at Georgetown University.…”

The disciplines of biotechnology include various techniques that make use of biological systems or processes for the benefit of the human being. Living systems and organisms involved in biotechnology are used to develop, make, and modify products like antibiotics, vaccines, cloned animals, and the confectionery industry for their specific use. The science of ethics asks us to explain our actions and accounts for our objectives. Bioethics includes evaluation and use of ideas like right, wrong, evil and responsibility. It includes ethical issues arising from advancements in biology and medicine. It is related to many significant issues with respect to human, animal, food, and health. As we move from research to technology ethical questions emerge with respect to shielding human subjects and society from instability and misuse by researchers. The present study emphasizes the correlation of bioethical issues arising from animal cloning. The animal can be used for various purposes like reproductive and non-reproductive or therapeutics. Bioethics is used to minimize the harm done to living beings. The presumption is that all animals will avoid pain, distress, or death if given the choice, therefore it is ethical for humans to reduce exposing animals to these events. Circulation of information about the existing ethical considerations and other possibilities in animal experiments has two important roles; 1) it increases the awareness of the researchers for possible methods of using animals in the experiments, and 2) to ensure that the researchers are aware of the established alternatives.

“…A obra de Potter ganhou notoriedade pela criação do neologismo bioética (Post, 2004;Steinbock, 2007;Tealdi, 2008), embora seja preciso dizer que essa posição passou a ser questionada em função de um trabalho de Fritz Jahr (Sass, 2007;Rinčić, 2011). A questão é que a repercussão dessa contribuição de Potter parece ter ofuscado os demais aspectos de sua proposta teórica; e essa proposta apontou alguns dos elementos básicos para a construção de uma nova teoria ética, embora tenham sido apresentados de maneira dispersa.…”

História da bioética: entre uma formação discursiva e um campo científico

A história da bioética pode ser contata a partir de duas perspectivas: como formação discursiva (Foucault, 2007) e como campo científico (Bourdieu, 2004). A hipótese é que as primeiras iniciativas de sistematização da bioética encontraram uma audiência receptível aos problemas bioéticos e sensibilizada pela literatura e pela mídia de massa. A constituição do campo científico foi antecedida pela formação discursiva, responsável pela difusão e publicidade dos dilemas morais colocados pela ciência. A conclusão é que a convivência entre um expressivo poder político e um capital científico frágil, coloca a bioética em condição de heteronomia, ou seja, ela é suscetível às intrusões de forças não-científicas e, no lugar de proporcionar uma nova teoria ética, ela se converteu em uma espécie de biomoralismo.

“…Among several ideas worthy of re-examination, certainly Jahr's major intellectual contribution has been his "Bioethical Imperative", a broadening of Kant's "Categorical Imperative", suggesting "Respect every living being as an end in itself, and treat it, if possible, as such!" During some twenty-fi ve years , Fritz Jahr altogether published only 22 short papers, out of which about 10 deal with bioethical issues (Muzur and Rinčić, 2011;Rinčić and Muzur, 2011b;Rinčić and Muzur, 2012), and his modest, quiet and stationary life certainly did not do much to contribute to his reputation either. Jahr's contemporaries do not quote him, and it was almost by chance that Berlin Professor Rolf Löther re-discovered Jahr's work from 1927 seventy years later, annoyed by the idea that "bioethics" had been invented in the 1970s in America (Löther, 1998).…”
