Abstract

In Latin American bioethics, cultural diversity and pluralism is a critical issue. Due to the importance of human rights in Latin America, bioethicists in this continent worked hard to apply and implement the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. Currently, social bioethics and research ethics are important themes of congresses, educational programs and publications. However, the main topic is bioethics and health. The aim of Latin American Bioethics is to provide the countries, Latin Americans and people in the Caribbean with an additional new instrument for improving democracy, citizenship and human rights, which is derived from the construction of an expanded and more politicized concept of Bioethics. This also includes promoting a wide trans-disciplinary exchange of information and experiences, at regional as well as international levels.
