Dignidad y bioética: el caso de las intervenciones biotecnológicas de mejora de la especie
2014
Este articulo trata de participar en el debate en torno al uso del concepto de dignidad en la bioetica. No solo tratara de mostrar que este puede ser utilizado con sentido, sino que defendera que se trata de un termino clave necesario para la reflexion bioetica, especialmente, dentro del debate sobre la mejora humana. Para ello, este concepto debe ser analizado al detalle y definido del modo mas claro posible. Lo cual tratare de realizar de la mano de tres fuentes: la teoria del reconocimiento propuesta por Axel Honneth, la etica del discurso de Karl Otto Apel y Jurgen Habermas, y el enfoque de las capacidades de Martha Nussbaum y Amartya Sen—he de anadir una cuarta fuente a esta enumeracio…
Losing an Unexpected Throne: Deposing Second Sons of the Stuart Dynasty
2017
Two second sons of the Stuart dynasty who came as unexpected heirs to the throne lost their crown in depositions . Both of these kings, Charles I and James II , had a strong belief in a personal kingship over loyal subjects, which was at odds with the English concept of King-in-Parliament and the possibilities for subjects to participate in the rule of the kingdom. Charles I and James II lacked the natural confidence of born kings, and both tried to overcome this deficiency by overemphasizing their royal dignity. In doing so, they never realized that the generally accepted idea of a divine right of kings was to be articulated and represented, but not implemented in politics.
Job Quality in the Economy for the Common Good : conceptualisation and implementation in Austria and Germany
2020
The Economy for the Common Good (ECG) is an Austrian-born movement promoting an alternative economic model built on values oriented to the common welfare such as human dignity, solidarity, ecological sustainability, social justice, transparency and democratic participation. To provide (high) quality of work plays an important role in the ECG philosophy but little is known on the actual labour conditions of workers employed in such type of firms and whether they differ from those of firms in the ?regular? default economy. In this paper we focus on Austria and Germany, the countries where this economic model is most widespread, and present results on the general structure of firms following t…

Bioethical Aspects of Postmortem Imaging
2019
After a general overview of death in current medical-cultural context, this chapter examines the main moral aspects of postmortem imaging (PI). In the current debate the stressed ethical issues are fundamentally the following: (1) the noninvasive character of postmortem imaging that very likely makes the procedure less objectionable to relatives of the deceased; (2) the reliability of the methods that ought to be as effective as traditional autopsy, both when PI precedes and completes or substitutes traditional autopsy; and (3) the cost-benefit analysis, in individual and social terms. The chapter emphasizes the common prerequisite of these ethical aspects, that is, the corpse’s dignity and…
Czy potrzebne są zmiany preambuł w tzw. ustawach wyznaniowych?
2020
Ustawy z maja 1989 r. dotyczące gwarancji wolności sumienia i wyznania oraz relacji pomiędzy państwem a Kościołem katolickim w Polsce ze względu na ich znaczenie wyposażono w uroczysty wstęp podnoszący jeszcze bardziej rangę tych przepisów. Jednak formuła przyjęta wcześniej dzisiaj wymaga zmian szanujących godność człowieka i jego podmiotowość. Stąd też należy uwzględnić nie tylko wytyczne Narodów Zjednoczonych ale także dyrektywy wywodzące się z prawa Unii Europejskiej i fakt członkostwa Polski w Radzie Europy.

The background for this article was a Scandinavian study that occurred in nursing homes; the purpose of the study was to gain knowledge about whether the residents felt that their dignity was maintained and respected. Design The design was hermeneutic, with qualitative research interviews. Method Twenty-eigh…
Modificazioni germinali del patrimonio genetico e biodiritto. I paradossi della de-differenziazione tra bioetica e biodiritto
2021
Il presente lavoro, incominciato nel novembre del 2017, è partito con l'ambizione di ricostruire la risposta che il sistema giuridico fornisce innanzi alle nuove tecniche di ingegneria genetica che, a fronte della loro applicabilità sugli esseri umani, hanno prodotto, negli ultimi anni, il sorgere di nuovi stakeholders e, ancor prima, di nuovi interessi meritevoli di tutela. Se fino a qualche anno fa pareva impensabile modificare il genoma umano e, men che meno, farlo in maniera precisa, efficiente ed economica, oggi grazie al sistema di modificazione genetica CRISPR/Cas9 è possibile, intervenendo sulla linea germinale degli embrioni umani, prevenire la contrazione di odiose malattie geneti…
Teoría y práctica de la dignidad en cuidados paliativos: una revisión
2014
A review study on human dignity is performed in order to theoretically understand this concept in the framework of palliative care, and in which extent these ideas have been developed on a practical level. Specifically, a review of those texts focused on human dignity from philosophy, law, religion, bioethics, health care and palliative care was carried out. This review also tried to find and report some similarities and differences among different approaches. Those differences are the basis of current debate on palliative care. Authors conclude that any approach to human dignity should be closer to the clinical practice in palliative care.
