Abstract

GOMEZ ALVAREZ, José Enrique. Global Bioethics: new arguments on animals’ rights?. Med. ética [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.1, pp.123-161.  Epub July 31, 2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2022v33n1.03.

The article addresses some recent variants of the arguments in favor of possible animal rights. To achieve this objective, a convenience sample was made from 2017 to the present of articles using the Google Scholar that will address both concepts. From the sample (first 40 search results) we selected those that summarized or presented some novel argument around the topic. After the analysis, basically two arguments were found that can be presented as novel, but when analyzing their assumptions, it was concluded that they present the same ontological assumptions as traditional arguments such as those of Peter Singer.

Keywords : Ontology; global bioethics; debunking argument; mother Earth.
