Medicine in general and pediatrics in particular are clear about the
definition of the premature babies. There are also well established criteria
to determine the possibility of survival, which tend to change over time
and progress of medicine itself. Even Talmud contains some discussions
about this topic. Nevertheless, it is clear that after couple of years, there are
almost no traces of the premature birth and in the vast majority of cases,
there is no difference between someone who was born prematurely and the
one who wasn’t. This also justifies the statement deriving from anatomy
and physiology: human being is born too early. Does this mean that the
intrauterine life is insufficient in preparing human being for the life and
therefore humans are born too early in order to be provided with additional
development possibilities by the extrauterine environment?
Question of whether and why a man is born prematurely will be examined
from the perspective of medicine, as well as in the interdisciplinary
and pluri-perspective horizon of bioethics.

UKRASNE BILJKE U INTEGRATIVNOJ BIOETICI
»Topiari« i otkidanje ocvjetalih cvjetova
U hortikulturnoj praksi se često orezuju biljke u razne geometrijske
forme ili skulpture u cilju ukrašavanja prostora. Isto tako se, radi produženja
perioda cvjetanja, kontinuirano otkidaju ocvjetali cvjetovi sezonskog
cvijeća i trajnica.
Uvidom u literaturu i praksu dolazimo do saznanja da je »topiari«
postupak ukroćivanja prirodnog habitusa grmova i drveća. U pravilu se
koriste zimzelene biljke i crnogorica, i to vrste sporijeg i gušćeg rasta, manje
površine lista ili iglica koje dobro podnose jače orezivanje. To je, po
principima pristalica topiarija, umjetnost oblikovanja biljnog materijala s
namjerom da se dođe do vizualno zanimljivog izgleda. Mada su najzastupljenije
forme geometrijskog oblika, jer je do njih i najjednostavnije
doći, oblikuju se i veoma složene kreacije, počevši od tipova ornamental-
