Abstract
sometimes as incitement to suicide when it seeks to find human dignity, but away from the source of dignity. And this happens because autonomy instead of coming from the depths of human comes from external sources and even against his life. Thus autonomy becomes heteronymous and distant from human and his life. Dealing with it is a challenge for human.
The paper tries to examine the phenomenon of autonomy within the spectrum of contemporary bioethical thought. Undoubtedly the dimension of the theme is great, as it relates to the dimension of human, the dimension of his relationship with God, and the dimension of his relationship with life. The paper places forward human, his dignity, usefulness and justice. Autonomy is part of human life. It appears and seeks to become part of human life, sometimes gently and sometimes being severely imposed by conditions. Human seeks it, as autonomy is not against him in essence, but with its distorted precision becomes several times disturbing and dictating in human life. Human dignity, the desire for rights and justice, makes autonomy not an element of human fulfillment, but of his denaturalization. Thus autonomy sometimes turns into incitement to murder by euthanasia and abortion,
Keywords: autonomy, human, human dignity, utility, justice, human rights.
