STATUS, OBJECT AND PROBLEMATIC FIELD OF SOCIAL BIOETHICS: METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

The concept of "social bioethics" is not in use in scientific and philosophical studies, moreover, one can hardly find it in modern publications, and it does not really fit the current linguistic terminology. Proceeding from the pragmatist approach the article proposes an unordinary interpretation of this social and scientific phenomenon, for the first time it elicits its status, object and problem scope. Sociobioethics is regarded as a special unordinary type of biological ethics, as a specific scientific phenomenon studying the degree of bioethization of society (as an activity) and the level of adaptation of bioethics to the parts of social reality (as a variant of socio-cultural accommodation of bioethics) in their close relationship and collaboration. The vector of social bioethics pointing aims to establish such norms and rules in society which reflect a definite (social) snapshot, a special non-conventional aspect of the result of interaction between a biosocium or biomedical world and biological ethics at a particular moment or period of their joint development in moral terms.
