Our graduate participates in the book "Bioethical Culture in Contemporary Society"

Dr. Weingerz discusses the importance of informed consent in medical care and research.

On November 23, 2021, the doors of the “Octavio Paz” Ibero-American Library were opened in Guadalajara for the presentation of the new book: “Bioethical Culture in Contemporary Society”. This publication was made thanks to the support of the State Bioethics Commission of Jalisco and had its origin in the interdisciplinary Bioethics course.

The chapter on informed consent in medical care and research was written by Dr. Samuel Weingerz Mehl, who is a graduate student from both the master's and doctoral degree from the School of Bioethics. He is currently a full member and vice president of the Mexican National Academy of Bioethics and teaches courses in the academic programs of the Faculty.

The objective of this book is to facilitate a systematic and daily exercise of Bioethics in the deliberation of professionals in the Health Sciences, ecosystems, and the environment.
