Abstract

A comparative analysis of conservative, liberal and ultra-liberal bioethics shows how social, philosophical and cultural approaches influence the perception and solution of ethical problems in biomedicine. The following methods were used in the work: study and analysis of specialized literature, synthesis, modeling, comparison, generalization, system analysis, theoretical knowledge. The authors of the article conclude that ethical norms can be understood conservatively, liberally or ultra-liberally. In this regard, they have a significant impact on health care, legislation, public and state life. A comparative analysis of these similarities and differences helps to conduct a constructive dialogue about the future of biomedicine and biotechnology in the context of contemporary Russian politics.
