Introduction. The culture of life has been considered for several years as a necessary link for techno science, because it has a great impact on biodiversity and this issue motivates a reconstruction of the contemporary ethics, which are finally based on a culture of care. From here, the critic to techno science focuses on its effects on the global framework. Objective. Reflect about a culture of life and its ethical consequences according to techno science. Materials and methods. The hermeneutical method is applied in bioethical research, considering documents and texts as first and second order sources. Results. 1). The dimensions of applied ethics re-compose a bioethics for complexity; 2). Ethics applied to techno science restate the reflections about life according to the duty of taking care of the existence as a whole. Conclusion. From bioethics, in its ethical dimensions of complexity, it can be concluded that the care of life, starting from self-care, the care of others and the care for other elements, form a complex ethics of care, which takes global life as a network. However, given the current decontextualized development of the biodiversity preservation, it is necessary to include a critic to the techno scientific method in order to sustain the socio-scientific contributions coming from the unfinished modernity. Finally, a global bioethical argument between the vital environment and the preservation of biodiversity is structured, given the fact that emerging ethics are re-configuring a bridge in their mediation for the future techno science.

Palabras clave : bioethics of complexity; bioethical mediation; caring ethics; new techno scientific twist.
