La bioética como brecha

Abstract

Bioethics, and bioethicists especially, has a challenge which is to open a gap through which the rights for all men can flow smoothly. So their first and fundamental attitude is to recognize that those who accompany the globalization process use the same concepts to hold the status of domain: for instance, they talk about autonomy, showing how individuals can decide for themselves, complying with certain conditions that have to do with knowledge. These talk about freedom making it conditional to a situation of absolute independence, which is impossible even to think about and finally bringing it down to a choice among options placed by the system. These refer to law as a vindication of each individual's wishes. These conceive solidarity as a gift for those who have to those who do not have; of dignity as selfesteem; of justice as a mode of distribution of goods. What we, as bioethicists, have to learn is what is played in bioethics and ethics, in general, which has to do with the meanings. That is to say, with the content of words and acts, in the sense of behaviors, and especially with the value of decisions.
