Major challenges in bioethics. Future scenarios

Abstract

Based on the many definitions of bioethics, the author outlines a series of potential future scenarios for a social and global bioethics that transcend the borders of developed countries. Based on these, he poses eight challenges for the future: the quality of life of the most vulnerable and the fair distribution of resources, the ethics of water management, the relationship between eco-ethics and bioethics, the rights of non-humans, the boundaries between human and ethics, gerontological ethics, transhumanism and liberal eugenics.
