The Principle of the Order of Love in Contemporary Bioethics

Krzysztof Smykowski



Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the possibilities of applying the traditional rules of ordo caritatis in contemporary bioethical dilemmas. After the synthetic showing of its essence, attempt was made to its application to specific situations related to biomedical practice. The focus is primarily on the issues of medical emergency situations and difficult access to medical services. It has been shown that the principle of the order of love in conjunction with other principles of medical interventions, including in particular the principle of proportionality can be an important criterion for the evaluation procedure.

Keywords:
