In this paper the author tries to introduce a new field of ethical reflections, the field of disaster ethics, while specially concerned with the questions of bioethics. To this end, the author distinguishes two main goals of the paper. Firstly, a definition of disaster is presented to readers, drawing attention to the specific features of such events and their differences from the day-to-day situations. The distinctive characteristic of disaster bioethics is stated, which leads to a formulation of the need to ethically evaluate actions resulting from a disaster (and pre- and post-disaster) from a different perspective.
