Resumen

HOEVEL, Carlos. Family, Bioethics, and Contemporary Assertion of Rights. pers.bioét. [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.2, pp.247-262. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2018.22.2.4.

The starting point of this article is a historical approach to the contemporary origins of the current right recognition movement in relation to the family. Also, through a philosophical-legal research into its essential features, the author proposes an interdisciplinary reflection on the links between such movement and a new anthropological and legal conception of family driven by a particular use of biotechnology. Some alternative critical proposals to this way of thinking by authors from the legal, psychoanalytic and philosophical fields are also explored. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion on the need for broadening the philosophical and anthropological bases of the debate on the family in order to overcome the ideological bias of legal reforms underway.

Palabras clave : Family; family law; bioethics; philosophy; biotechnology.
