VELAZQUEZ, Gladys et al. Venezuela Case: Reflections from Bioethics. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.2, pp.75-92. ISSN 1657-4702. https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.4705.
This article presents the case of Venezuela, a country that, after having had the greatest development potential in Latin America, suffers a political, economic and social debacle that led it to become the poorest in the region, with the highest inflation, and to be qualified as a country in a "complex humanitarian emergency". It also describes the serious violations to human rights -civil, political, economic, social, cultural and environmental - that occur there based on the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights by Unesco (2005). Additionally, information on the development and teaching of bioethics in Venezuela is provided. The article ends with an analysis of the country situation from other bioethical perspectives focused on Latin-America: social bioethics and intervention bioethics; the repercussions of the problem in the region and the description of the efforts made at national and international level to solve the humanitarian emergency and to recover the country.
