Resumen
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.
