First Bioethics Committees in Croatia
A recent case of unborn Croatian seven twin babies, which polarized the lay public in Croatia about the question whether to grant the pregnant woman's request to maintain three fetuses, urged the need for bioethics education of the members of the existing ethics committees in hospitals and other medical facilities in Croatia and for establishing a national bioethics commission trained and qualified to debate and make decisions about these and similar issues. Croatia is actually the only country from the former Yugoslavia which, since its idependence in 1990, "has discovered" bioethics as a new interdisciplinary science and an academic discipline, and has paid an ever increasing attention to it.
