Статтю присвячено порівняльному аналізу поглядів на цінність життя представників біоетичних доктрин якості і святості життя. Вказано на релятивістський і суб"єктивістський характер першої, абсолютистський і об"єктивістський характер другої доктрини. Згідно з доктриною "якості", життя є однією з властивостей людини, яка за своєю цінністю поступається, напр. свідомості чи автономії. Доктрина "святості" стверджує значно вищу цінність життя (хоча й не абсолютну, адже є цінності, заради яких життя можна віддати). Найкращим способом вираження поваги до так зрозумілого життя є турбота про нього від зачаття до природної смерті.
Статья посвящена сравнительному анализу взглядов на ценность жизни представителей биоэтических доктрин качества и святости жизни. Указан релятивистский и субъективистский характер первой, абсолютистский и объективистский характер вто- рой доктрины.
The article deals with the comparative analysis of estimation of the life value according to the bioethical doctrines of "quality" and"sanctity" of life. Relativistic and subjectivist character of the first is defined, as well as absolutistic and objectivist character of the second one. The doctrine of the sanctity of life is inherent to Christianity, however, they do not overlap c&ompletely. First of all, it is assumed that life is a blessing for a human being, since it is entrusted to them from outside, and it is the basis for the personal unveiling. The representatives of the "quality" doctrine also understand life as a good&, but in utilitarian way. For them, life is something good only to the extent that it serves the unveiling of the person who lives this life. Foremost such philosophers talk about the dimension of consciousness, autonomy, consumption of goods etc. Th&e concept of quality in this case refers to a set or list of properties that a human individual must possess for their life to be recognized as value. The fact that there are sufferings in the world, both physical and mental, gives reasons for some p&hilosophers to acknowledge the unevenness of the lives of different human beings. Subjective aspect is important. It is the particular individual who decides whether their life is a value to them, and in generally. It follows the focus on rationality& and autonomy as the ability to make independent decisions. The consequence of this view is the denial of the right to life of every human being and, vice versa, the justification of the right to death. Representatives of the doctrine of sanctity of &life, in their turn, believe that any life is equal, regardless of its manifestations. The life is not something in a human being, his or her property only; the life is a human being who lives. Therefore, the destruction of life is a crime against th&e person in an ontological sense. Despite the popularity of the doctrine of quality in the modern world, the doctrine of sanctity does not lose its justification
