RAMIREZ BORRERO, Néstor Daniel; CORREDOR NINO, Mónica Andrea y NAVAS GUTIERREZ, Sergio Eduardo. BIOETHICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PANDEMIC. A PERSONALISTIC PERSPECTIVE. pers.bioét. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, e2515. Epub 01-Jun-2021. ISSN 0123-3122. https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2021.25.1.5.
The health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic revealed limitations in health systems worldwide, making it necessary to establish a bioethical framework that provides tools to drive health professionals’ decision-making amid scarce health resources. Bioethical models such as principlism, utilitarianism, and personalism seek to focus clinical decisions on respect for people’s rights and dignity, thus protecting the medical practice. Personalism provides a person-centered approach to respect for human dignity during health emergencies to avoid giving material meaning to the individual. Decision criteria are required to face bioethical conflicts in clinical practice, reducing the legal, emotional, and ethical burden of decision-making in pandemic situations.
