¿Bioética y derecho para qué y para quiénes? Discusiones en torno a la regulación de las técnicas de reproducción humana asistida en Colombia
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Rincón Castellanos, Ximena
Bioethics and law for what and whom? Discussions about the Regulation of assisted reproductive techniques in ColombiaThe recent concern for the normative regulation of assisted reproduction techniques (ART), raises discussions about how to manage the embryos, how many times to use a sample, how to define parenthood, and other issues. However, it has not been questioned who would be favouredwith these regulations and what is their contribution to social equity and development for an entire country. Considering that the urgency to guarantee the sexual and reproductive rights —theoretical framework invoked to require ART— should be aimed at reaching a fair society.The proposed analysis will be undertaken considering the case of applying the ART for surrogate mothers in Colombia. The paper presents the context in which it is intended to apply the normative regulation, alongside the review of some conceptual and empirical contributions by Michael Sandel concerning trends in surrogate motherhood among «developed» and «third world» countries. This should allow considering the profiles of fertility in Colombia as a sign of inequality in our country.Subsequently, we will approach the current legal discussion in Colombia concerning surrogate motherhood, from the only case of surrogate motherhood resolved by the Colombian Constitutional Court and the bill projects presented in the Colombian Congress to regulate this issue. Finally,we will present some reflections and discussion on the normative regulation of the ART and surrogate gestation, and the law as a transmission belt of varied interests, that is, that it ought to lead to common good, solidarity and cooperation, and not simply function as a regulator that ensures the fulfilment of contracts.

Bioética, medicamentos, conflicto de intereses y control de calidad
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) La Rosa Rodríguez, Emilio
Bioethics, medicines, interests conflict and quality controlThe article analyzes the problems of pharmaceutical advertising that distorts, exaggerates or hides certain information (side effects of drugs), as well as the work of pharmaceutical sales representatives, the problem of drugs’ risk, marketing authorization, access to drugs, therapeutic practice, conflicts of interest, and quality control in medicine. These issues have a greater importance in public health; since the lack of respect for the fundamental principles of bioethics (benefit, not harm, autonomy and consent) has a direct impact on the health of the population.

Desarrollo y medio ambiente. El rol de la bioética en un contexto de cambios ambientales globales
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Castro Salvador, Sofía
Development and environment. Bioethics role in a framework of global environmental changesThe article intends to demonstrate how the dominant development model drives the planet to environmental unsustainable limits. Since the 1950s the development model has been led by economic growth without considering other dimensions as social or environmental. Maddison (2005) explains both production and population have been significantly increased in the last century; however, at the same time regional blocs’ gaps have augmented, persisting poverty levels and malnutrition in some countries.However, production and consumption levels have risen triggering an energetic and environmental crisis. These levels have become unsustainable and are driven the world to catastrophic scenarios. In this context, bioethics rises to give people’s guidance concerning personal, social and naturebehavior. Anyway, behavior changes should happen in the shortest term since this will shape the future of the planet and humanity

Ética, bioética y los desafíos del siglo XXI
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Freitas Drumond, José Geraldo de
The contemporary world is characterized by a formidable accumulation of scientific knowledge, which is responsible for developing the technology that permeates all latitudes of the planet and is incorporated, so virtually irreplaceably, to the daily life of human beings. However, the world is in a borderline: serious responsibilities determined by the process of increasingly aggressive human intervention in the biosphere (accelerating its deterioration) and the very human biology, reaching its genetic identity. Humanity is wrapped in a moral dilemma, since it is found that most of the benefits offered by human knowledge —the whole set of scientific and technological progress of humanity— remains inaccessible to most of the universal family. A recurring issue in today’s society is to establish the boundaries between normal and abnormal, between natural and artificial. Is the human being willing, once again, to transgress the parameters established by her concerning what is normal, anatomically and physiologically? Will she not be satisfied by merely making her biological structure sufficiently adapted to the current practices of the species? Will she want more? In the singular historical transition experienced by contemporary society, the emergence of a new ethical reflection to modulate human behavior has become imperative, so that the actions of men and women can converge to the achievement of universal benefits, so as not to endanger the very survival of human beings on the planet.

Final de la vida y notas en bioética médica
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Ivone, Vitulia
End of life and changes in medical bioethicsThe issue of the end of life includes —necessarily— an analysis of human dignity in its social and legal dimension as a parameter and value of the cultural history of countries and societies. The vagueness of this term has created, in particular, many difficulties in the effort to define its boundaries. In particular, the use of human dignity to understand the dynamics of the end of life faces the issue of medical paternalism and theory of informed consent in the doctor-patient relationship.

Objeción de conciencia sanitaria en España: naturaleza y ejercicio
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Medina Castellano, Carmen Delia
Health conscientious objection in Spain: nature and exerciseConscientious objection is conceived as the infringement of a legal duty, peacefully and morally motivated, which aims to safeguard the own moral integrity against a heteronomous imperative judged as unfair. Generally, there is social agreement concerning some justice principles that generate group-shared laws. However, there can be disagreement among some of the members of the group, which can lead them to decide to break the law. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the social and juridical legitimacy of an individual’s moral obligation to disobey a rule that is incompatible with his or her personal options, in order to assert that faculty and base it on the existence of a conscientious objection right. Also, it seeks to point out the existing difficulties in Spain to exercise the conscientious objection within the healthcare sector.

Principios jurídicos y principios bioéticos. Separación, vinculación, integración
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Luis Tinant, Eduardo
Legal and bioethical principles. Separation, connection, integrationThis work is intended to establish relationships between legal and bioethical principles especially when bioethical principles complement and enrich legal ones in order to solve a specific case. Prior author’s contributions on bioethical principles as legal topics and legal bioethics creation in terms of a branch of bioethics which studies legal regulations as well as legal implementation and scope of bioethical problems are referred, making a critical reflection on growing and fruitful relationships between bioethics and law. An Interdisciplinary integration proposed in order to realize cooperation between both fields rejecting a separation or mere connection is suggested: «hetero integration», an integrating system produced by development of common and related principles. The article concludes stating that law structure is a «textual» subject not just involve on the writing of the law but capable to be analyzed from a social sense point of view, conferred to different manifestation of this discipline together with several social practices; a path warning by the need to broad theoretical-practical frameworks in order to move towards the interdisciplinarity taking into account bioethics from its foundations.

Responsabilidad social en la investigación con humanos
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Pfeiffer, María Luisa
Social responsibility in research with human beingsIt seems anachronistic to keep on talking of ethics and bioethics in a globalized culture. All ethics is based on a responsibility that acknowledges the value of the other because it forces an answer and this answer is supposed to be free. The exercise of freedom improves, grows, increases when limits are part of it. The possibilities of the answer are constructed by exchange when the limits act upon the behavior of the individual. In bioethics there is a strong tendency to associate responsibility with acts of individual relation. This neglects the strictly solidary character of responsibility. Freedom is conditioned by equality but much more by solidarity. Solidarity forces us to accept limits imposed to us by coexistence. Health is the space where this becomes relevant. Therefore it is necessary to think of social responsibility from a bioethics perspective based on human rights, especially on the right to health. This work does precisely that, focusing on research with human beings.

Las semillas transgénicas: ¿un debate bioético?
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Casquier, Jesús; Ortiz, Rodomiro
Transgenic seeds: A bioethics debate?The aim of this paper is to analyze, from a bioethical perspective, the social, cultural, environmental and moral impacts of the use of biotechnology for breeding transgenic crops. We place greater emphasis with regard to the use of transgenic seeds in agriculture, and their advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional crops. Transgenic crops are genetically modified organisms (GMO). There have been two antagonistic views about transgenic crops only due to its definition. We address the issue of transgenic seeds presenting these two views, and make a bioethical analysis that allows us to make a synthesis that may set what could be the most appropriate standing on this issue in light of bioethical principles.
