Introduction
INTRODUCTION
This second issue of the Magazine opens with a great chapter by the National Commissioner of the National Commission Bioethic, Dr. Manuel Ruiz de Chávez, with the collaboration of Gabriela Pineda. In this article, the authors make an analysis about what has happened in Mexico with the Bioethics Hospital Committees, and the Ethics Committees on Research, which boosted and sustained in the different places of the country by the State Commissions on Bioethics, given their relationship with the medical, academic, research, and civil society groups sectors. Besides, it points out the requirements that can improve their operation.
After that, several co-authors leaded by Dr. Agustin Herrera Fragoso, are making a comment on Article six of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights regarding the right to life. It is a trans-disciplinary comment on this right, in confrontation with human rights. Thus in this comment they provide arguments in order to re-formulate positions or standing which infringe such right.
Next, three papers are published, regarding medical performance ethics: they are articles by Antonio Scoppettuolo, Aldo Rocco Vitale, and Antonio Marturano, of great value each one of them, dealing and addressing topics in which the realistic methodology of cognitivism, is linked, in order to learn in the ethically act on health. The right to health, analyzed from the eugenic selection point of view. Antonio Marturano’s article speaks about leadership in medicine, in the weight of the moral values in it. Furthermore, we are publishing two very original articles on clinical issues: One is about the fulfillment of the principal of autonomy of pregnant women during the labor work at birth, by Dr. Justo Aznar’s team which is a heavy problem even in some countries, as for example in Mexico. The other article is a measure of public health in Bangladesh, by Elena Mancini, that can be applied to other cases of public health, which is about the health area in which the well-being of the social group, demands measures of great collaboration and of education.
These articles provide a reflection about the perceived need and expressed by the population itself, of the values of the health care field. If we think about the fact that Bioethics is spoken of, since roughly some fifty years, and the development it has had up to now, the logical conclusion, is that it has come to fill the gap of this lack of values.
