After a short introduction on the status of medical ethics as a special branch of a more general ethical theory, I try to identify its particular principles. According to my analysis there are two opposite basic principles which individuate two conflicting perspectives, i.e. the principle of sanctity of (human) life, and the principle of disposability of mere biological (human) life. Current troubles in medical ethics are mostly dependent on the fact that we are assisting a change from an ethics of the sanctity of life to an ethics of the disposability of life, and I argue for the latter.
在对医学伦理作为更一般伦理理论的一个特殊分支的现状进行简短介绍之后，我试图确定其特定原则。根据我的分析，有两个相反的基本原则，它们区分了两种相互冲突的观点，即（人类）生命神圣原则和仅仅作为生物的（人类）生命可处置原则。医学伦理当前的困境大多取决于这样一个事实，即我们正在见证从生命神圣伦理向生命可处置伦理的转变，而我支持后者。
