The article analyses the phenomenon of human security as a state of protection of human life, culture, values and ideals, promotion and development of rights and freedoms. Bioethics in scientific research and practice applies the principles of general ethics to the phenomenon of human life, and the relevant bioethical discourse is a basic and integral part of the content of human security. The bioethical discourse of human security is represented in several research areas: security of physical and mental health; security of the possibility of free self-identification of individuals, social groups and states; security of citizens and countries in terms of development opportunities and, in general, the ability to choose the future. The report also identifies significant threats to human security: the difficult demographic situation; migration processes; and the lack of a secure picture of the future. An important aspect of the current scientific discourse on human security is the shift in the focus of its formation from state-centred to human-centred. Actors and threats are being redefined. If earlier the categorical apparatus describing human security was dominated by political, legal, socio-economic terms and concepts that described international security relations and threats at the state level, then modern research focuses on the dominance of bioethical discourse related to the personal security of the individual, which is dominant in relation to the security of the state.
