Bioética y derecho

Abstract

In order to support any practical knowledge, it is necessary to start from certain principles sharing the characteristics of being: (a) objective, (b) universal, and (c) immutable.

Both Saxon and individualistic ethics use some specific postulates they call “principles”, but they lack these three characteristics. Therefore, they are not suitable to back a special ethical discipline. The two purposes of this essay are those of demonstrating, first, the need for true ethic-supporting principles; and, secondly, of outlining the ones likely to be the primary principles, the founding postulates of that special ethic, and the others immediately  eriving from them.

Finally, it attempts to harmonize these true bioethical principles with Law in both its theoretical aspects and in its precision in the combination of laws, state policies, and judicial rulings. For this research, the relevant methodologies pertaining to practical philosophy and law were used.
