This article examines the Kyrgyz tradition of bioethics and the conditions of its use in higher educational institutions of Kyrgyzstan. The article analyzes formation of bioethics as a science closely related to medicine, veterinary medicine and biology, which studies the relationship between men, animals and other creatures. The bioethical aspects of conducting an experimental and preclinical testing of medicinal herbs and other products that have been used in folk medicine for centuries, as well as their application in practical medicine, are presented. The bioethical aspects of brain transplantation, artificial intelligence (AI) and the use of AI robotics to perform medical manipulations, surgical interventions, as well as tactical mistakes made by them (robots) when performing diagnostic manipulations, operations and when new infections and diseases occur, are considered. The issues of obtaining permits to prepare vaccines and drugs and the issues of studying the “non-natural” human nature are highlighted. In this regard, bioethical science will face many complex tasks that require solutions in the future. The laws of the Kyrgyz Republic related to bioethics and teaching of this discipline in universities of the Kyrgyz Republic, adopted in the period from 1992 to the present (August 2024), are presented.

Keywords: students, bioethics, biomedical studies, science, Kyrgyz tradition
