Abstract
La formulación de políticas públicas para la salud de los ciudadanos debe
dialogar con los problemas y dilemas del contexto. La bioética y la acción
ética deben generar conciencia en los procesos de cambio social. Un líder con
estos rasgos fue Jesús de Nazaret, reconocido como médico o sanador en el
siglo I, quien puso la salud en el centro de la justicia social. El método narrativo descubre el sufrimiento de la sociedad palestina, bajo el poder romano.
La justicia y el derecho parecen alcanzables solo con un violento cambio de poderes. Jesús eligió un camino distinto al de la violencia: fue por pueblos y
aldeas como un médico y la gente sencilla mostraba las personas a quienes
él curaba y les devolvía su dignidad e identidad. Jesús se interesó por la salud
física de los seres humanos, este es el significado de la palabra “salvador”.
Su protagonismo en la Bioética y la salud en la historia humana asoma en la
cultura ancestral, en los evangelios y en la Biblia es un rasgo de Dios Creador.
Basta con traer la frase conclusiva de Éxodo (15, 26), que Martín Lutero tradujo como “Yo soy, el Señor, tu médico”.
The formulation of public policies for the health of citizens must dialogue with the problems and dilemmas of the context. Bioethics and ethical action must generate awareness in the processes of social change. A leader with these traits was Jesus of Nazareth, recognized as a doctor or healer in the first century, who put health at the center of social justice. The narrative method uncovers the suffering of Palestinian society under Roman rule. Justice and law seem attainable only with a violent change of powers. Jesus chose a path other than violence, he went through towns and villages like a doctor, and the simple people showed the people whom he healed and gave back their dignity and identity. Jesus was interested in the physical health of human beings; is the meaning of the word “savior”. The leading role of bioethics and health in human history appears in ancestral culture, in the gospels and, in the Bible, it is a trait of God the Creator, it is enough to bring the concluding sentence of Exodus 15, 26, which Martin Luther translated: “I am, the Lord, your physician”.
