Abstract
La humanidad ha vivido diversas epidemias y pandemias, la del covid-19
ha sido especialmente impactante, tal vez, porque no esperábamos que en un
mundo como el nuestro, donde disfrutamos de tantos avances científicos y tecnológicos,
de un momento a otro nuestras seguridades se vieran amenazadas
por un virus y que, además, ocurriera a escala global con tanta fuerza. Este escenario, que en un primer momento parecía ser solo clínico, rápidamente
desató otros problemas que indicaban que cuidar la vida no es solamente pensar
en la salud, sino en que nuestra vida es compleja y tenemos un sinnúmero
de relaciones e interacciones que necesitamos y que van más allá de nuestro
cuerpo biológico. Esto nos llevó a hablar de sindemia.
La bioética social, como desarrollo teórico, apenas va ganando espacio en
la academia, si bien la intuición de que la bioética no solo es clínica siempre
ha estado presente. No obstante, hace falta en bioética consolidar más la reflexión
social, sin que pase a leerse desde la biopolítica, tentación que suele
surgir. En este documento se propone la sindemia como uno de los escenarios
que se abren para la reflexión de la bioética social y los aportes que esta puede
dar en la búsqueda de soluciones interdisciplinares.
Humanity has lived through various epidemics and pandemics, that of covid-19 has been especially shocking, perhaps because we did not expect that in a world like ours, where we enjoy so many scientific and technological advances, from one moment to another our securities will be threatened by a virus, and that it also happened on a global scale with such force. This scenario, which at first seemed to be only clinical, quickly unleashed other problems that indicated that taking care of life is not only thinking about health, that in reality our life is complex and that we have countless relationships and interactions that we need and that go beyond our biological body, which led us to speak of syndemia. Social Bioethics, for its part, as a theoretical development is barely gaining space in the academy, although the intuition that Bioethics is not only clinical has always been present, it still needs to consolidate more social reflection, without this dimension necessarily passing to be read from Biopolitics, a temptation that usually arises. In this presentation we want to propose the syndemic as one of the scenarios that are opened for the reflection of social Bioethics and the contributions that it can give in the search for interdisciplinary solutions.
