Abstract

From the Bioethics delineated by Potter in stricto sensu, to what is currently evident in educating towards a much broader spectrum (in extremis), whose methodology is adapted to a narrative description of the subject, aiming at anew epistemology much more inclusive for discipline; that is, the proposal to an in lato sensu education. Traditional bioethics has been very limited and insufficient to analyze carefully and confront various ethical and social problems in developing countries with the advances of convergent technologies, will deepen even more contexts of social, economic inequality, between rich and poor countries. It is necessary an educational pedagogy with epistemological bases characteristic of a Bioethics with a Latin American approach.
