Ethics, Life and Health: a prospective reflection

DOI: 10.15343/0104-7809.200731.1.2

Abstract

This prospective study on Bioethics makes efforts to point out themes that will probably capture attention and motivate
research and/or discussions. All anticipating reflection is risky and will certainly be corrected as the future unfolds. There is no trying
to present an ideal picture for the Bioethics of the future, that is, an expression of the author's personal Bioethics, which is another
genre. What will remain are the American tendency - that grounds reflections on some principles, and employs criteria of a more pragmatic
type - and the European one - that looks for a grounding anthropology, more philosophical but not unified, which aims to develop
guidelines able to give to the possible and desirable future directions that are more coherent.
