metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The focus of the article is epistemological problems arising in the field of ethical regulation of
  biomedical researches and technologies. The bioethical expertise seeks to limit or to prohibit
  certain directions of research into biomedical reality, assessing the possible negative consequences
  of their application in human society. However, in this case, subject to expert evaluation
  is not biomedical research or technology itself, but rather the moral potential of individual
  actors of scientific production and society in general, i. e. bioethics (we note, not without
  reason) does not trust man and society, and therefore declares the extreme importance of
  ethical regulation in this and adjacent areas. At the same time, the actual cognitive component
  of such a research remains outside of expertise, blocked by bioethics itself, which leads to an
  increasing value of socio-cultural (regional and pragmatic) relativity of ethical assessments of
  the admissibility of biomedical developments. We believe that the epistemological potential
  of the thought experiment, which allows us to build a model for the realization of the real
  impracticable (and specifically in bioethics, the morally uncertain), allows us to expand the
  cognitive component of expert evaluations. Thus, the thought experiment opens an additional
  opportunity to clarify (concretize) the real sphere of applicability of the principles and norms
  of bioethics through the interaction of social, humanitarian and natural sciences in expert
  assessments.
