Abstract

The source of moral obligations in medicine therefore has an external character, since medicine is part of culture and performs services for the benefit of society. Justifying the need of existence of professional ethics in medicine is usually connected with traditions of a profession and with humanistic dimension of these ethics, pointing at the same time at their culture - forming character. With such attitude, professional ethics is treated as a part of all mankind output, and its teaching turns out to be an important element of preparation for taking part in culture. The author indicates that professional ethics does not limit freedom of the staff but it gives a special opportunity to use it. Records constituting its contents are mostly standardized by a professional group which sets criteria of recruitment on its own and general duties resting on their members.
