Abstract

GOMEZ ALVAREZ, José Enrique. Autonomy, bioethics and religion in children: source of paradoxes. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2010, vol.67, n.3, pp.223-229. ISSN 1665-1146.

The present article demonstrates that moral dilemmas need a fair approach when religious claims are made. The article analyzes the notion of "laicity" and its limits and proposes a correct criterion for maximizing the goods that appear in the dilemmas: the flourish of human goods. At the end, the author suggests that the conscious objection is the last resource available in the liberal state for the respect of the rights of all persons who participate in the clinical decisions.

Keywords : laicity; concience; rights; religion.
