Abstract
La bioética es un darse cuenta que da que pensar acerca de una ciencia cuya
capacidad de objetivación involucra la vida toda. Ofrece una respuesta a la
inquietud, intranquilidad y preocupación generada en diferentes campos del
saber científico (no solo en la rama del saber de las ciencias de la vida) acerca
del futuro de la vida en la tierra. Esta vida es el resultado de la mutación del
ser humano “en una poderosa fuerza geológica” que arriesga la supervivencia
del ecosistema global y posibilita la antigua tensión entre bíos y zoé, la cual,
tiene que ver con formas de vida equivalentes en el ser natural del hombre (la
humana y la animalia). Estos conceptos sirven de sustento a la visión de Potter, quien planteó una “mixtura entre la biología básica, las ciencias sociales y
las humanidades”. En consecuencia, al poner en relación bíos y zoé frente
al ecosistema global aparece ante nuestros ojos la confluencia novedosa de
biología y ética. Es decir, no serán los cursos paralelos de biología y ética, sino
el estudio de dos series entrelazadas, la científica y la simbólica. Significa un
contactarse, entrelazarse, entramarse, tejerse, trenzarse y urdirse en las dos
corrientes.
Bioethics expresses an awareness that-gives-what-to-think about a science whose capacity for objectification involves life as a response to the restlessness, uneasiness and concern that has been generated in different fields of scientific knowledge, not only in that of life sciences, on the future of life on Earth as a consequence of the transformation of today’s man “into a powerful geological force” that threatens the survival of the global ecosystem and that brings us back to the Greek tension ancient between bíos and zoé, which presents us with coextensive forms of life in the natural being of man (human and animal) that support the vision of Potter who proposed a “mixture between basic biology, science social and humanities”. Consequently, by putting bíos and zoé in relation to the global ecosystem, the novel confluence of biology and ethics appears before our eyes; that is to say, it will no longer be the parallel currents of biology/ethics, but the study of two intertwined series, the series of the scientific and the series of the symbolic, which means contacting, intertwining, forming a web, weaving, a braiding and a warping the two series.
