Resumen
CORDOBA-PALACIO, Ramón. GÉNESIS Y ESENCIA DE LA MEDICINA. pers.bioét. [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.2, pp.108-117. ISSN 0123-3122.
Anthropological elements are used to affirm that love for our fellow man is the genesis and essence of medicine. The dramatic progress in medicine has been fueled by that love, even if neither the means nor the goals proposed by physicians in certain circumstances respect the intrinsic and unconditional dignity of human life. No one may intervene ethically to interrupt a human life from conception to death - through abortion or euthanasia - or to prolong human suffering (dysthanasia).
Palabras clave : medical anthropology; physician-patient relationship; history of medicine; bioethics.
