Biotehnologija iz ekoetičke perspektive SAŽETAK Rad nastoji, nakon kratkog uvoda u pojmove biotehnologija i bioinženjering, dati kratak uvid u etičke reperkusije znanstvene manipulacije biljnih i životinjskih stanica. Etičkom prosudbom takve ljudske djelatnosti nužno se dolazi do ekoekološke tematike koja zahvaća pitanja narušavanja bioraznolikosti kao izravne posljedice dominantne znanstvene paradigme. Susljedno tomu, javljaju se pravci unutar ekološke etike koji se, ovisno o temeljnim

Također će se naglasiti i filozofska kritika znanstveno-tehničkog utjecaja čovjeka na prirodu i, naspram tome, potreba za njegovim odgovornim djelovanjem. ABSTRACT This paper seeks, after a brief introduction to the concepts of biotechnology and bioengineering, to give a brief insight into the ethical repercussions of scientific manipulation with plant and animal cells. Ethical judgment of such human activity necessarily leads to ecoethical topics which include questions of disrupting biodiversity as a direct consequence of the dominant scientific paradigm. Consecutive to this, new movements appear within environmental ethics, which, depending on the basic settings, start from anthropocentrism to biocentrism. The philosophical critiques of the scientific and technical human impact on nature and, in contrast, the need for human responsible acting are also going to be emphasized.
