The issue of suicide is almost as old as the history of mankind, as origins of suicide may date back to the time when man realised that he was not only able to take animals' and other humans' lives, but also that he could take his own life. While exploring the issue of suicide, researchers concentrate on its various aspects, rendering it possible to specify a few basic directions, in the scope of which analyses are conducted. Among them is the philosophic-theological direction which concentrates mainly on ontological basis of human existence, the possibility of having life at one's own disposal, and possible moral assessment of self-destructive actions. Discussion concerning the issue of suicide has a very rich historical tradition, origins of which probably date as far back as the source of philosophic-theological reflection. The article presents the shaping of the relation of Christian ethics towards suicidal actions and the influence of moral assessment of such actions on the social and legal sanctions directed at people who committed suicide and their circles.

The issue of happiness has been the essence of philosophical reflection since its Greek beginnings to the present time. It is related to such transcendental categories as good, truth and beauty. Consequently, the concepts of happiness can be classified into those connected with good, truth or beauty. The author only focuses on the concepts where happiness is analyzed in combination with good. They are described using the notion of eudaimonia. In the first part of this paper, selected philosophical concepts are analyzed, taking the category of eudaimonia into consideration. In the second part of the paper, the author continues the historical analysis of the good-related happiness, referring to Józef Bańka’s ethics of pure-mindedness. That ethics individualizes each person’s happiness. There is no group happiness; it is always the happiness of a specific person, even if they are a member of a group. According to J. Bańka, that person should live in the present, where they can be happy to the fullest. The ethics of pure-mindedness is different from the concepts which approach happiness from a maximalist or transcendental perspective as well as the concepts which focus more on minimizing unhappiness than on the issue of happiness itself.

The problem of a relation between bioethics and faith is complex when it refers to Christian religion. It begins on the plane of the relationship between philosophy and Christian philosophy, more exactly, of the disputable question whether philosophy can have a Christian character. In the light of methodological principles, philosophy (the natural one) seems to exclude religious motives in advance. A similar problem can be observed in the i eld of ethics. In its proper sense, it is a philosophical science (as has been stated in the above dei nitions of bioethics). If so, ethics is, in its wrong sense, a form of moral theology, as it has occurred in the socalled ‘theological ethics’ being the i eld of research of some authors.

1. Purpose The article attempts to synthesize professional engineering ethics to find key characteristic features of a professional expert engineer and of a managing engineer, who do their duties on job contracts or as contracted professionals within a partnership. 2 .Methodology A descriptive analysis has been applied to the content of engineering codes of ethics to obtain core engineering ethical competencies. 3. Findings A review of the content of professional engineering ethics indicates a deontological base of an educated engineer on earlier acquired values and formed attitudes from general and personal ethics. These are beyond the scope of professional higher education, but are an indispensable precondition for an engineer to have been taught effectively about his or her engineering rights and duties, and to have acquired correct attitudes toward professional ethical issues. The analysis of the learning process within technical curricula supports the proposition, generally accepted in engineering ethics textbooks, to apply a case study method during instruction and to adequately define prerequisite knowledge and skills of the students, to have them prepared for studies of the professional ethics subject. 4. Originality The author proposes that such prerequisites be formulated in engineering curricula and justifies this need by professional code norms that state the superiority of personal integrity of an engineer over all other professional qualities. Such integrity, the author foresees, can be attained on personalistic ethics grounds that foster learning through application and formation of an internally consistent system of values by a future professional who wishes to achieve such personal integrity.
