ABELLAN SALORT, José Carlos  and  MALUF, Fabiano. FROM TEACHING BIOETHICS TO BIOETHICS EDUCATION. REFLECTIONS ON THE CHALLENGES IN THE DEGREE IN BIOETHICS. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.52-65. ISSN 1657-4702.

The growing importance of bioethics has encouraged the proliferation of specific programs of studies in this area, usually centered on theoretical teaching models or analysis of case studies, lessons that ultimately correspond to models of argumentation and dominant views of bioethics. From a comparative study of graduate programs (master's degrees) in bioethics currently offered in Spain, the authors make an analysis of the main challenges for teaching bioethics and defend the need to overcome the limitations of teaching models (theoretical and casuistic), in favor of comprehensive training or education, including on the teacher profile a sufficient knowledge of Anthropology and Ethics, and integrate a broad view of the meaning of life and dignity of every human being.

Keywords : Bioethics teaching; bioethics education; postgraduate.
