Abstract
SANDOVAL LOPEZ, Juan Manuel. Analysis of the applicability of medical oaths from the perspective of personalist bioethics with an ontological foundation. Med. ética [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.2, pp.328-373. Epub June 04, 2024. ISSN 2594-2166. https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2024v35n2.02.
The medical profession has always been willing to serve mankind, which has historically required the establishment and development of different oaths, codes, and laws on the actions of physicians, as well as the application of responsibilities and rewards or punishments derived from their actions. This paper aims to define and analyze the presence of the guiding principles of bioethics in the Hippocratic Oath, the Declaration of Geneva and in the formula for today of the Hippocratic Oath of Dr. Herranz, as well as to demonstrate the importance of their compliance in contemporary medical practice. Finally, what is considered the best oath proposal according to the guiding principles of personalist bioethics with an ontological foundation is presented.
