Feasibility Study of "Human Rights" as an Alternative to "Biological Ethics"

Today, bioethics and human rights are two sets of norms, procedures, and institutions whose primary function is to regulate the relationship between biology and medicine in the light of public law. In recent years, some studies, as well as the practice of some governments, have hypothesized that the field of biological ethics has been digested and absorbed in the human rights system. In the present study, we will examine the hypothesis that international human rights have now emerged as an alternative to biological ethics.

In this study, by analytical-descriptive method, the nature of biological ethics and its common principles with human rights will be discussed first. Once the status of the variable has been determined, the role of human rights in biological ethics will be considered in terms of sharing their foundations. In the third step, the hypothesis of "human rights as a substitute for biological ethics" will be tested, and finally the functions of international human rights in biological ethics will be discussed

Proponents of the hypothesis of the digestion of bioethics in the human rights system believe that due to the normative and institutional weaknesses of bioethics in the international legal-political-cultural space, international human rights instruments and institutions can digest the normative and institutional part of bioethics. The study's findings show that international human rights cannot cover all the gaps and gaps in the political science space. This is where the need for a space for biological ethics, which lacks the inherent characteristics of the world of law, and especially international human rights, is felt. Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.

Biological ethics can play a role in cases where human rights are challenged flexibly. As a result, it is essential that not only is the field of biological ethics digested and absorbed in the human rights space, but that the two need to be completely independent of each other.
