Before we start to think about the universal and global bioethical norms, we have to ask, whether we really need them. In this paper, we bring three examples to demonstrate the need for a global regulation in the biomedicine. The first example shows how the Internet facilitates the human organs and embryos market to boom. The second example focuses on global aspects of a biopiracy and the third one on a female genital mutilation (FGM), which points to the conflict between the universalistic approach and the principles of the multiculturalism. In conclusion we shortly discuss the conceptual problems of the ongoing process of a global bioethics forming itself as an extension of the UN universal human rights.
