Diskriminierung von Senioren – Fakten über und Wege für das würdige altern
Morciniec, Piotr (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2018)
Current century is often presented as the age of aging. Disproportionate increase in the group of old people, to almost a quarter of the population, carries with it not only the pride of the achievements of medicine prolonging life, but also the negative social trends. Progressing processes, which have already been identified as „intergenerational desolidarisation”, are also reflected in very negative phenomena, among which the discrimination against elderly people becomes more important. The negative attitudes based on stereotypes and prejudices towards the oldest part of society arouse anxiety and demand the search for ways out. In this study, based on the analysis of Polish-language professional literature, attempts were made to sort out the reasons and contexts of such negative references to seniors, highlighting the most important discriminatory areas, and finally trying to find the possible ways out from the situation of social inequity experienced by elderly people. The message of the text remains positive, since there is a need to look for new ways of solidarity and intergenerational dialogue, bearing in mind that the priority task is to strengthen a strong family, which remains the most proven support for the dignity of the most vulnerable people to whom seniors undoubtedly belong.

Medycyna ludzkich pragnień z perspektywy bioetycznej
Morciniec, Piotr (Uniwersytet Opolski. Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego, 2010)
The paper is an attempt to analyse validity of the idea of medicine as a human activity aiming at fulfilling man’s desires, wishes and fantasies. A question is posted as a starting point, if such an approach is to be diagnosed at all. A positive answer is enhanced with a thesis that the title perception of medicine does exist, but it has become possible only in the last decades of the 20th century. The next steps of the analysis proceed as follows: to diagnose what constitutes a groundwork for such attitudes and expectations (1); to point out particular manifestations of this kind of approach towards medicine and to discuss a selection of their consequences (2), for to finally draw bioethical conclusions from the political event, namely passing the bill 1763 (2010) by the Council of Europe. The final conclusion of the analysis has been phrased: medicine is not a fairy that satisfies wishes and fulfills desires – its goal is reliable care for life and health of all patients carried out on the basis of fundamental bioethical norms. The uncompromising defense of dignity of every human being, their freedom (not willfulness), equality of all and solidarity, sooner or later has to come into conflict with the idea of medicine of desires that violates – to some extend – every bioethical principle.
Neurotransplantacje tkanki embrionalnej. Systematyzacja problemów etycznych
Morciniec, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 1999)
The attempt of systemizing moral problems arisen from the use of human fetal tissue in neurotransplantology has been given in the paper. Such an exact thematic specification is justifiable because of the fact of using embryonic tissue for treating various diseases. The reason of choosing this section of transplantology are new emerging questions connected on the one hand with the source of the tissue, on the other with the use of the human brain tissue, then again with the interference into the brain (of a recipient) which is regarded as the centre of man’s personality. Since the problems have been a current issue after undertaking the attempts of treating Parkinson’s disease which is considered to be the model neurodegenerative disease, at first the empirical data of the research of this experimental therapy have been given in short. The key to systematize the ethical problems of feto-neurotransplantology which has been commonly used by bioethics is utilitarian Principles of Biomedical Ethics T. L. Beauchamp & J. F. Childress. The principles are based on four universal criteria: respect of autonomy, nonmalefcence, beneficence and iustitia. Within the transplantation proceedings there are two actions - explantation and implantation - thus the existing problem characterized by the two distinguished realities. In the case of explanation there are questions concerning the legal donor - mother and the real donor, that is human embryo, whereas in the case of implantation the question is focused on the recipient. There is also a supplementary group of issues concerning emerging social problems, putting aside the question of the ethics of the scientific research. The article compiles only the ethical problems without taking any attempt to solve them, therefore Ethical Guidelines for the Use of Human Embryonic or Fetal Tissue worked out by Network of European CNS Transplantation and Restoration (NECTAR) has been enclosed as the material for further consideration and as one of the trials to codify the problems under disscussion.
Podstawy etycznej refleksji nad tożsamością osobową: perspektywa analitycznej filozofii umysłu
Morciniec, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2000)
Contemporary biomedical ethics contributed to deepened interpretations of fundamental moral principles, among them the principle of integrity. A criterion of medical action admissibility accepted today is not exactly the physiological functioning of an organism, but a person’s good profoundly conceived. Such extension of the outlook has its substantial significance in the evaluation of medical actions, e.g. neurosurgery. In association with the interference into human’s neural system there arose explicitly questions about the nature of human mind, its relation to a person and to some body organs, particularly to a brain. In compliance with the contemporary understanding of the principle of integrity a rule for this type of action was formulated: Interference in human body is becoming unethical if it threatens considerably a person’s identity, it is then taken as an attack on a patient’s personal dignity. This paper makes an attempt to approach the reality underlying the notion of „personal identity” The basis for the analysis is constituted by the achievements of analytical philosophy of mind that exerts substantial influence on vital discussion over the significance of personal identity for ethical settlements.
Problem godziwości korzystania z wyników nieetycznych eksperymentów
Morciniec, Piotr (Uniwersytet Opolski. Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego, 2000)
The paper deals with the problem of medical experiments on people. First, the author presents the requirements to be satisfied to make the actions ethically admissible. The next question to be settled is if it is fair to use the results of unethical experiments. Analysing the problem the author concentrates mainly on the investigations of D.G. Jones who examined, among others, the consequences of following the reasoning of complicity in the evil and the effects of rejecting the results acquired in unethical way. "Results of experiments" are understood in the paper both as the new medical knowledge and specimens of the human tissue produced in the process of trials.
Starzeć się z godnością: od doświadczenia straty do owocowania
Morciniec, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
The practice of life and the literature on the subject strike us as antagonistic, firmly positive or negative understanding of old age. The first one most often has biblical and theological roots, whereas the other one – sociocultural ones. Searching for the proper attitude towards our own and someone else’s old age we find out that the senior time as the time of discovering a new sense can only be chosen, not sententiously recommended or demanded. The major point of the text is that the failure at shaping the sense of own old age results mainly from not working out the losses associated with this stage of life. To show the way to respectable old age, the author tried to define the actual state of so called old age or senior age (1), then he discussed the issue of working out the diagnosed real and subjective losses (2) so as to, in the course of the process, reach the point of reaping the fruits of life and old age (3) and introducing the trial of practical accomplishment of the approach (4).
