Abstract
Resumo A Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos da Unesco, publicada em 2005 e assinada por 191 países, é considerada marco por expandir a abrangência da bioética para além das questões biomédicas e enfatizar a justiça social. Sua ampla divulgação para o público em geral é importante, inclusive para o público infanto-juvenil, como tem sido feito com outros documentos internacionais. Pensando neste propósito, foi realizada análise textual clássica a fim de reagrupar os tópicos frasais da Declaração. Foram encontrados três núcleos de conteúdo: um autorreferente, outro sobre questões biomédicas e um terceiro sobre valores éticos e princípios de justiça social. Espera-se que esta análise colabore com a divulgação e compreensão do documento, facilitando sua circulação entre um público mais abrangente.
Highlights
The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights published in 2005 and signed by 191 countries, is a milestone in bioethics for expanding its scope beyond biomedical issues, emphasising social justice
One of the strategies to stimulate its mass communication is to investigate effective linguistic and aesthetic criteria to transform the normative text into reflective text, as it has been done with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 2, which has already been adapted for illustrations, infographics etc., reaching even the children’s audience
According to Garrafa and Porto 3, bioethics has expanded its field of study and action, including, among the issues related to the quality of human life, topics that had been only touched on until now : human rights and citizenship, allocation of human resources and scarce resources, preservation of biodiversity, finiteness of natural resources, ecosystem balance, genetically modified food, racism and other forms of discrimination, etc
Summary
The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights published in 2005 and signed by 191 countries, is a milestone in bioethics for expanding its scope beyond biomedical issues, emphasising social justice. It is important that the Declaration be broadly disseminated to the general public, including children and teenagers, as it has been done with other international documents. With this in mind, a classic content analysis of the Declaration was carried out, which allowed for the regrouping of the phrasal topics. As an international benchmark in bioethics and public health, the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (UDBHR) 1 needs to be more widely disseminated and known. According to Garrafa and Porto 3, bioethics has expanded its field of study and action, including, among the issues related to the quality of human life, topics that had been only touched on until now : human rights and citizenship, allocation of human resources and scarce resources, preservation of biodiversity, finiteness of natural resources, ecosystem balance, genetically modified food, racism and other forms of discrimination, etc
