The discovery of Fritz Jahr and his works is one of the most intriguing notice in the history of bioethics over the past three decades. Many articles published since 1998 either deal with Fritz Jahr's 1927 article or at least mention his name. As Jahr's article "Bio-Ethics", written in 1927, showed that the inventor of the term bioethics is not Van Rensselaer Potter, but Jahr, contrary to popular belief. Jahr, who used the term bioethics approximately forty-four years before Potter, is a crucial name both for discovering the term and for his universal approach to bioethics. Although many studies have been carried out in English in recent years, this subject has not yet received sufficient attention in the Turkish literature. For this reason, in our article, the life and works of Fritz Jahr, which are very significant for the history of bioethics, will be discussed. First of all, the adventure of discovering the term bioethics will be laid stress on, and then the life and works of Fritz Jahr will be touched upon. Our article, which is the first Turkish article on Jahr's life, aims to make a contribution to the literature.
