ČAMROVÁ, Julie
The thesis deals with the problematic of human dignity in nursing practice and view of nurses on it. It consists of theoretical and empirical part. The objective of the thesis was to map the ideas of nurses about the term human dignity and its application in everyday practice. Further it wants to clarify the possibilities of education for nurses in the ethical field. And then to observe the approach of nurses to the elderly in nursing practice. For these objectives six research question was then defined: What are the ideas of Czech nurses about the term human dignity? What are the ideas of German nurses about the term human dignity? What possibility do Czech nurses in medical facility have to take part in education in ethical field? What possibility do German nurses in medical facility have to take part in education in ethical field? How is the approach of Czech nurses to elderly in medical facilities? How is the approach of German nurses to elderly in medical facilities? For the thesis qualitative research with technique of semi-structured interview and hidden observation was chosen. The research file is made up of 10 nurses from Czech and 10 nurses from German environment, working with elderly at Long-Term Care Department in the Vysočina Region and Clinic in Geriatric Medicine in Munich. The selection of nurses was intentional. The results shown that nurses from both Czech and German environment have usable ideas about the term human dignity developed in practice, they can tell which is the right approach to elderly, what limits them during their job, which situations they consider undignified and suggest how to fix them. Following education in ethical field during their work in medical facility have nurses in both environments and they take advantage of these opportunities. The approach of nurses from both environments to elderly in nursing practice is on a good level. I think that this problematic is truly relevant, and nurses should be sufficiently informed in these fields so their care can be optimal in all respects. The thesis can serve as learning materials for students and nurses working with elderly. It also offers space for greater elaboration of the problematic of human dignity and view of the nurses on it in nursing practice.

The quality of life of people with hearing disabilities from an ethical perspective
BÍLKOVÁ, Ladislava
The thesis deals with the quality of life of people with hearing impairment in various stages of life with utilization of compensatory devices which affect their fulfilled and high-quality life from the ethical point of view. It also deals with the Act No. 329/2011 Coll., setting conditions for granting the compensatory devices to people with hearing impairment and role of social worker at social department of labor office with ethical approaches. By writing the thesis I come to conclusion that when assessing applications according to the law about compensatory devices, the 30-year-old setting of total hearing loss is considered. Big changes occurred in our society since then, integration, social inclusion gain ground but still only the offer of compensatory devices changed in the law. By change, meaning reduction of the total hearing loss from 85% according to Fowler to lower value in the law would lead to better usability of some compensatory devices for the benefit of the people with moderate to severe hearing loss and by that to their better inclusion into society and higher overall quality of life. Higher competence of medical assessors or social workers could also be considered with emphasis on individual assessment of applications according to social and life situation of the applicant.

The struggle for human dignity in the era of modern eugenics. Molecular genome editing tool CRISPR/CAS9 and its use in human genome therapy from the perspective of theological ethics
Auxt, Miroslav ; Štica, Petr (advisor) ; Fošum, Jan (referee)
The recent breakthrough discovery of the molecular genome editing tool CRISPR/CAS9 represents a complete revolution in the field of molecular biology, biomedicine and other related fields. It is a highly effective biomolecular tool, derived from the bacterial immune system, with which it is possible to introduce precise changes in the genomes of all organisms. The thesis is limited to the ethical evaluation of the use of CRISPR/CAS9 exclusively in human gene therapy. Thanks to its efficiency, simplicity, accuracy and low financial costs, the CRISPR/CAS9 editing tool, in compliance with ethical parameters, already has a broad spectrum of use in therapeutic procedures on somatic or body cells in the treatment of human genetically determined diseases without introducing a change into the future offspring of the given individual. In addition to great therapeutic potential, the application of CRISPR/CAS9 raises many ethical questions related to the possibilities of its further use, possibly misuse. Ethically problematic genetic procedures include: human hereditary genome editing, i.e. the targeted alteration of the genome of sex cells, progenitor cells and cells of early embryonic development stages with the therapeutic goal of eliminating a genetically determined disease associated with the...

Human dignity: universal principle in particular application
Broz, Jan ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
This thesis probes the relevance of objections against newly establishing contemporary paradigm of human dignity, based on connection between dignity and Kantian views on human autonomy, which possess universalistic ambitions. First chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of human dignity during history. The chapter shows there have been evolved at least three different concepts: (i) dignity as an internal value; (ii) dignity as a social status; and (iii) dignity as a certain manner of social behavior. Second chapter consequently deals with courts` techniques regarding the dignity as a legal concept. The conclusions extrapolated from German, Israeli and South African judicial decision-making noticeably support objections raised in contemporary discourse against the abovementioned universalistic concept. In spite of these universalistic ambitions, human dignity represents concept enabling to construe individual human rights through values shared by vast majority in certain jurisdictions. This mindset naturally leads to the limitation of individual freedom rather to its expansion, in the name of an idea that ideal moral order objectively exists. Consequently, the authority of classical human rights is considerably weakened. In third chapter the effort to analyze and construe current judicial practice is...
