Abstract

El artículo expone el debate teórico acerca de la configuración epistemológica de la Bioética. Se realiza un análisis descriptivo y crítico de las principales aportaciones. Muestra como la Bioética siempre ha tenido dificultades para ser definida, los límites y las características internas de lo definido han sufrido importantes modificaciones en su corta historia. Otro problema presente, no menos sustancial, se debe a los distintos modos de entenderla y por tanto a que no exista un concepto unívoco de Bioética. Por último, se apuntan tres rasgos esenciales que sustentan su base conceptual, y que a nuestro entender, están todavía por resolver.

Sample like the Bioethics always has had difficulties to be defined; the limits and the internal characteristics of the definite thing have suffered important modifications in his short history. Another present, not less substantial problem, it owes to the different manners of understanding it and therefore to that there does not exist Bioethical univocal concept. Finally, there sign three essential features that sustain his conceptual base, and that to ours to deal, are still for resolving.
