On this occasion, Ethics of Advanced Directives and Medical Representation, Bioethics without Biomoral: Critical Elements for Understanding Bioethics and CONBIOÉTICA Perspectives on its 30th Anniversary were presented.
On February 23rd, 2024, three different editorial works coordinated by the National Bioethics Commission (CONBIOÉTICA) were presented during the 45th International Book Fair of the Palacio de Minería, an event attended by the Centro Anáhuac de Desarrollo Estratégico en Bioética (CADEBI).
The first one was Ethics of Advance Directives and Medical Representation, by Bernardo García Camino and Eugenio Miranda. This work highlights the relevance of continuing the development of advance directives, also known as advance wills in our country, which allow us to establish criteria for how individuals wish to be treated in case of serious illnesses,situations of incapacity, or at the end of their lives.
The presentation of this work was attended by the authors and moderated by Dr. Patricio Santillán Doherty, national commissioner of Bioethics. Download the book at the following link: https://bit.ly/librdirectices
The second book presented was Bioethics without Biomoral: Critical Elements for Understanding Bioethics, by José Salvador Arellano Rodríguez and Eduardo Farías Trujillo, which is a co-edition of CONBIÉTICA with the Autonomous University of Querétaro.
This work addresses the importance of applying the principles of Bioethics in multiple spheres of life and the need to propose with critical sense the direction that this discipline should take in the face of the current scenario of biotechnological and scientific expansion.
The presentation was conducted by the authors and moderated by Dr. María de Jesús Medina Arellano. You can download the book at this link: https://bit.ly/librobiomoral
