Redefined Family as a Challenge for Modern Society and Bioethics

Tadej Strehovec

Abstract

The redefinition of family and marriage is an ideological and political topic in modern society, where the public is more and more interested in issues like IVF, surrogate motherhood and child adoption for LGBT couples. What is the definition of family? why is the conventional nuclear family being replaced by new types of households? and what are the potential consequences of redefinition of family for society as a whole? These are some of the most important questions. Family ethics and bioethics could be an excellent framework to present the historical and social background of these kinds of phenomena.
