Ética de la responsabilidad ¿Una propuesta vigente para el actual escenario bioético?

Abstract

The thought of Hans Jonas is far from being presented as a mere historical reference. It reflects narrow points of contact with the contemporary bio-ethical problematic. In this respect, through the present reflections, some of the Author’s thoughts that stand out will be highlighted, in the understanding that they will contribute to reveal possible links with two dimensions of the phenomenon that has been called "global bioethics", the global impact of the current biotechnology and the need to regulate it legally through instruments of universal scope.
