Resumen
CELY GALINDO, Gilberto. BIOETHICS IN A WORLD OF MORAL UNCERTAINTIES. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1, pp.70-79. ISSN 1657-4702.
Some philosophical aspects related to Bioethics and Cultural Anthropology in the contemporaneous "Society of Knowledge" are studied in this essay. We have taken as a turning point for analysis, the incidence of biotechnologies sciences in the horizon of moral values which are invading today the entire physical and cultural living phenomenon. Moral uncertainty is the dominant factor in that horizon and it constitutes a necessary point of reflection. Bioethics rises as an interdisciplinary activity, which favors a kind of prudential wisdom in pursuit of a new life style that faces the future. In order to do this, it is necessary to articulate a new culture of life that would make it possible for the Sciences and the Humanities to exist in harmony.
