Annotation Some ethical aspects of the usage of the biomedical technologies in the frame of human bodiness and the relationship of the physician and the sick from the point of human dignity are set forth in the article. Growing tendency of rationalization of medicine and broadening limits of its influence on healthy and diseased organism are highlighted. In particular, it is associated with the introduction in medical practice of different elements of the artificial intellect in the diagnostics and treatment of different diseases, which have found its legislative order in the Edict of the President of the Russian Federation. It challenges the necessity of consideration of this problem in the format of ethics and law with the accent on the dignity of the human as an individual and unique personality. Contradictive character of the usage of different biomedical technologies from the point of science, on the one hand, and human existence – on the other are marked. These positions are regarded in the aspects of the human bodiness and relationships of the physician and the sick. The problem of “vulnerability” of the human body is shown on the example of increase of different biomedical investigations, like experimental medicine and its “commodification”. In this respect, judgement about ontological role of the body in life space and human experience is exposed. In the analysis of the relationships of the physician and the sick through the “prism” of the biomedical technologies special attention is being paid to the change of the subject-object roles in this communicative sphere. As a sequence, technical model is starting dominating in modern medicine. All tye abovementioned ideas reflect transformation of historically assembled traditions of medical and ethical character and strengthening of the ideas of transhumanism when the sick individual loses its uniqueness and is being investigated in the virtual space.
Key words biomedical technologies, bodiness, ethics, individual, physician, sick
