Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad govori o genetičkom inženjeringu, njegovu povijesnom razvoju, oblicima, kao i etičkim aspektima i granicama koje ga određuju. Razvoj genetike doveo je do mogućnosti liječenja raznih bolesti i poremećaja s kojima se čovječanstvo bori putem genske terapije, ali i do mogućnosti poboljšanja ljudskih kognitivnih i tjelesnih sposobnosti pomoću poboljšanja gena. Ljudi su oduvijek težili napretku, no može li napredak, u smislu poboljšanja ljudi, čovječanstvo odvesti na opasan put eugenike, ili pak otvoriti sasvim novu epohu ljudske prirode? Kako se, u odnosu na napredak koji nam predstoji, treba postaviti prema mogućim genetičkim manipulacijama ljudi, ljudskih genoma i embrija? S obzirom na to da djelovanje pojedinca utječe i na ljude oko njega, ali i prirodu, treba li se ljudska odgovornost proširiti i na svijet oko nas, na prirodu o kojoj čovjek ovisi i na buduće naraštaje?

Abstract (english)

This graduate thesis discusses genetic engineering, its historical development, its forms, and the ethical aspects and boundaries that determine it. The development of genetics has led to the possibility of treating various diseases and disorders that humanity is battling through gene therapy, but also to the possibility of improving human cognitive and physical abilities through gene enhancement. Humans have always strived for progress, but can progress, in terms of improving people, lead humanity to the perilous path of eugenics, or can it open a whole new era to human nature? How, in the light of the advances ahead, should we be positioned against the possible genetic manipulations of humans, human genomes and embryos? Given that the action of the individual affects both the people around him and nature, should human responsibility extend to the world around us, to the nature upon which man depends and to future generations?
