Authors

The article deals with the question of the ethical foundation, in bioethics and synthetises the most important steps in literature. The authors identify some ways of foundations: descriptive, subjectivistic (non-cognitivism), intersubjectivistic (neoutilitarianism, neocontractualism) and objective (personalism). Through the criticai analysis of each way (with reference to some authors of the italian and Anglo-American debate) emerges the relevance of the ontological foundation which, on the appeal to human nature, justifies moral respect and protection to all human beings.
