CASANOVA-RISPOLI, Eduardo. BIOÉTICA, CULTURA Y PATRONES DE CONDUCTA. pers.bioét. [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.1, pp.34-41. ISSN 0123-3122.

Culture presumes cultivation and implies the elevation and advancement of life. Culture and bioethics come together in actions and behavior patterns that promote human life. Behavior is ethics adapted to the moral order human life assumes as an element of reference. Although they present themselves as "valid options" or "forms of culture", behavior patterns contrary to human life and human health are equivalent to psychopathies or sociopathies. They transform the bioethical risk of survival, to which Potter refers, into a risk of coexistence posed not by an imbalance of the biosphere, but of the socio-cultural environment. Regarding the human being and the family as reference values is indispensible to achieving healthy patterns of behavior.
