La bioética como base de una Ecología y Antropología que evita la cultura de los residuos

Abstract

The relationship among bioethics, ecology and anthropology is an aspect rooted in the very origins of the discipline. This relationship also presents complex characteristics that call for a proper articulation. The article deals with the following topics: a necessary proposition for a further development of the reflection in relation to the original attention paid by the Bioethics to environmental issues since Potter´s lesson; the diversity of the theories of the Environmental Bioethics in comparison; the possible contribution to the debate of the Pope Francis encyclical Laudato si´and, finally, the “in itinere” conclusions about the following question: “if” and “what” Bioethics can take over an ecology/ anthropology which prevents the throwaway culture.
