Abstract

Volgograd State Medical University was one of the first educational bases where the then new science of bioethics began to be taught. But before it became an officially recognized academic discipline (in 2001, a mandatory training course in this discipline was introduced for students of medical and pharmaceutical universities), many events occurred that showed the need for an ethical arrangement of any medical issue. The history of global bioethics is well known, thanks to the exceptional attention that scientists from all countries have been paying to it for almost half a century. But we want to see how bioethics originated and developed in one particular medical and philosophical locus. And it is hardly possible to find a better opportunity for this than the 90th anniversary of VolgSMU.
