Abstract
The avenues of development, successes and failures of modern neurosurg ery taking into account the factors of its humanisation and dehumanisa tion are analysed. A new model of humanisation of neurosurgery to give it a human face for the future is outlined. Suggestions are made to p repare the neurosurgeons for 21st century. The main pre-condition for the humanisation of neurosurgery in the 21st century are that neurosur geon must not only be Homo Sapiens, but also Homo Moralis.
