Abstract
ROQUE-SANCHEZ, M. Victoria and GONZALVO-CIRAC, Margarita. DEMOGRAPHICS, VULNERABLE POPULATION AND BIOETHICS. pers.bioét. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp.245-263. ISSN 2027-5382. https://doi.org/10.5294/PEBI.2015.19.2.5.
States and societies are increasing concerned about issues associated with population diversity. When it comes to making legislative and political decisions, one sees a constant dissociation between the use of demographic concepts, demography and health and bioethics, along with very little academic impact and awareness in this area. The vast majority of countries lack an ethical framework that guarantees non-manipulation of the human being. The objectives of population policies go against children, the elderly and the disabled; their foundation is more ideological and utilitarian in nature. Opportunities for academic training and awareness on this subject are lacking.
Keywords : Demography; vulnerable population; population policies; person; aging; bioethics.
