El estatuto epistemológico de la bioética

Abstract

The usual understanding of bioethics is in terms o fan applied ethics. Here, I claim that such an approach does not really favour bioethics. I argue that bioethics is to be understood as belonging to the life sciences. Normally, little attention is paid to the relationship between epistemology and bioethics. It is necessary, I claim, to review such a relationship. New insights arise from such a perspective (1) (PDF) A Reflection about the Epistemological Status of Bioethics.
