Abstract	Science and technology are value-neutral. Th ey are one sector only of a larger human culture, overcoming the cruelties and inhumanities of raw nature and uncivilized and inhumane people. Th us, humanities studying the impact of science and technology on cultures and societies are an essential and indispensable part of human culture. Ever since Kain killed his brother Abel, we humans have used sticks, knives, ammunitions, laws and regulations, knowledge, sciences and technologies, drugs and medical interventions for good or for bad purposes, for cultivating raw and cruel nature to become a better home for humankind and human culture or for being cruel and exploitive to humans, co-creatures, and environments. Th us, science and technology need to be guided by moral values and cultural visions. Medicine and medical research are one of the proudest fi elds of serving fellow humans who are in pain and despair and who need information and education, therapy, nursing and other forms of help. Th erefore, the moral and cultural guidance and control of modern medicine and modern sciences, including the social sciences, is a necessary and indispensible vision for the third millennium. Th e Department of Social Sciences and Medical Humanities at Rijeka Medical University has to be congratulated to take a European and global leadership in communication and cooperation into a more cultivated and morally responsible future of research, review, teaching, and training.
