Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, bioethical concerns were raised and there was even a ″resurgence of bioethics. ″ In this work, we review the scientific articles published by Spanish authors in relation to bioethical issues in the three years following the declaration of the pandemic. Seventy publications have been selected. Of all of them, the topic that lent itself to the most debate was that of prioritization in the use of health resources. A consensus was reached that ruled out that age could be considered as a sole exclusion criterion in healthcare or in a possible admission to the ICU. And the importance of taking special care of the most vulnerable and adapting care to the conditions of each patient without excluding anyone was recalled. Other relevant topics were the contrast between autonomy and the common good, the immune passport, vaccination, rigor in research and the publication of results, the professionalism of health personnel, misinformation, care for nursing homes, telemedicine, and the importance of the exercise of virtues. After the experience of both vulnerability and the need to exercise solidarity, many works raise the desire and the possibility of being able to overcome the pandemic being better.
