Abstract

SANCHEZ-BARROSO, José Antonio. VALIDITY AND OPERATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE BIOETHICS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS ON THE BASIS OF MORAL DELIBERATION AND LEGAL ARGUMENTS. pers.bioét. [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.2, pp.187-204. ISSN 0123-3122.

One way to demonstrate the relationship between Bioethics and the Law is through the prescriptive and argumentative application of principles in solving difficult cases. Current bioethical problems are characterized, among other things, by the moral pluralism latent in democratic societies. This necessitates devising innovative methods to allow for a rational and coherent solution to such problems. The principles of Bioethics constitute the epistemological crux this work and are applied to two specific normative areas: moral deliberation and legal argumentation. By analyzing each of these approaches to resolving difficult cases, an attempt is made to demonstrate the validity and timeliness of the principles found in Bioethics and in contemporary Law.

Keywords : Principles; cases; bioethics; rights.
