SANCHES, Mário Antonio  y  MONTEIRO, Thiago Martins. Divergent Anthropological Views in Scientific Articles on Bioethics in Brazil. pers.bioét. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.64-83. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2019.23.1.5.

The aim of the study is to characterize Brazilian bioethics outputs anthropologically, specifically scientific articles. The guiding question of this research is: What is the anthropological characterization present in scientific articles on bioethics in Brazil? Prominent bioethical theories show restrictive anthropology indicators; i.e., dignity is given only to members of the human species that have certain attributes, including conscience and self-consciousness, as opposed to comprehensive anthropology indicators in relation to human beings; i.e., dignity is equally assigned to all members of the Homo sapiens species. In conclusion, comprehensive anthropology indicators and theoretical divergence in relation to the origin of life, especially between utilitarianism and personalism, prevail.

Palabras clave : Bioethics; antropology; humans; personhood; health vulnerability.
