Abstract
Existe la creencia en la sociedad que la bioética está fuera de su alcance y entendimiento por tratarse de “algo” relacionado con la medicina. Lo anterior
como consecuencia de la estrecha relación bioética-medicina desde el origen
de la primera. Sus creadores habían definido la bioética como un puente al
futuro, puente entre ciencia y ética, de tal manera que el avance de una no
perdiera de vista la otra, pues si esto ocurriera, las consecuencias serían catastróficas. Los avances tecnocientíficos generan oportunidades y riesgos, que
se convierten en desafíos sociales frente a la vulnerabilidad humana y a las organizaciones que gestionan proyectos tecnocientíficos. Algunas entidades
han hecho mayor énfasis en sus intereses particulares, utilizando medios no
éticos con el fin de alcanzar sus propósitos de obtener utilidades a toda costa.
Así, las organizaciones han venido siendo cuestionadas por la sociedad en
general, sin lograr mayores respuestas de su parte ante los constantes cuestionamientos relacionados con su insolidario actuar. Mediante una adecuada
educación y entendimiento de la bioética por parte de la sociedad, se lograrán
transformaciones conducentes a consolidar comunidades más justas. Bioética,
educación, organizaciones y sociedad son los pilares que permitirán lograr y
mantener el equilibrio entre tecnociencia y ética.
There is a belief in society that bioethics is beyond their reach and understanding because it is “something” related to medicine. The foregoing as a consequence of the close bioethics-medicine relationship since the origin of the former. Its creators had defined bioethics as a bridge to the future, a bridge between science and ethics, in such a way that the progress of one would not lose sight of the other, because if this happened, the consequences would be catastrophic. Techno-scientific advances generate opportunities and risks, which become social challenges in the face of human vulnerability and the organizations that manage techno-scientific projects. Some entities have placed greater emphasis on their particular interests, using unethical means in order to achieve their purposes of obtaining profits at all costs. Thus, the organizations have been questioned by society in general, without obtaining greater responses from them in the face of constant questioning related to their unsupportive behavior. Through proper education and understanding of bioethics by society, transformations leading to the consolidation of fairer communities will be achieved. Bioethics, education, organizations and society are the pillars that will allow achieving and maintaining the balance between technoscience and ethics.
