    Desafíos bioéticos de la universidad del siglo XXI
    (Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2014-10-18) Bello, Mariadela; Villalobos Antúnez, José Vicente
    Introduction. The society seems to have lost its humanizing telos, due to the technoscientific twist it has been experiencing. It has disarticulated means and purposes, and this fact demands an approach to the challenging problems it generates. Bioethics has to be approached by the universities´ curricula, aiming to cultivate bioethical values during the learning process of science and, in consequence, teleologically exalt the value of global life. The educative projects oriented to this idea are highlighted as a curricular aspect dedicated to educate for caring about life through human care, under a perspective of coexistence. Objective. Reflecting about some of the challenges bioethics has in the universities, for the 21st century. Materials and methods. A hermeneutical/dialectic methodology centered on the analysis of texts and documents of interest. Results. The following challenges are highlighted: 1). A true and fruitful bioethical dialog between the state, the university and the scientific community; 2). These three actors must assume the bioethical responsibility the society interpellates; 3). Regard bioethics as a feasible bridge between sciences and humanities; 4). Build the bioethical horizon that is best for the 21st century´s society. Conclusion. Emphasize the formation of subjects that are reflective/conscious of their role in the living world they share. It is urgent, in this century characterized by many technical means and few life purposes, to materialize the bioethical mediation in the universities, because the idea is to generate vital consciousness. The society must propitiate a new practice of science in more human, prudent and life-committed ways.

    Ética para una sociedad global: la bioética puente para el giro tecnocientífico
    (Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2014-10-15) Villalobos Antúnez, José Vicente; Bello, Mariadela
    Introduction. The culture of life has been considered for several years as a necessary link for techno science, because it has a great impact on biodiversity and this issue motivates a reconstruction of the contemporary ethics, which are finally based on a culture of care. From here, the critic to techno science focuses on its effects on the global framework. Objective. Reflect about a culture of life and its ethical consequences according to techno science. Materials and methods. The hermeneutical method is applied in bioethical research, considering documents and texts as first and second order sources. Results. 1). The dimensions of applied ethics re-compose a bioethics for complexity; 2). Ethics applied to techno science restate the reflections about life according to the duty of taking care of the existence as a whole. Conclusion. From bioethics, in its ethical dimensions of complexity, it can be concluded that the care of life, starting from self-care, the care of others and the care for other elements, form a complex ethics of care, which takes global life as a network. However, given the current decontextualized development of the biodiversity preservation, it is necessary to include a critic to the techno scientific method in order to sustain the socio-scientific contributions coming from the unfinished modernity. Finally, a global bioethical argument between the vital environment and the preservation of biodiversity is structured, given the fact that emerging ethics are re-configuring a bridge in their mediation for the future techno science.
