Razones para una perspectiva intercultural en bioética

bioethics must have an intercultural perspective. this is based on three facts: the principles and values around which reflection is made are related to world views and traditions, human beings are cultural beings, and current societies are considerably diverse. based on this, bioethics will seek an adequate balance between ethical universalism and contextualism. this is a fundamental step for unconditional respect for human dignity and mutual recognition, dialogue, correlation and complementarity among diverse cultures.
