Human Life and Dignity: A Dialogue Between Ethics and Law

Authors

The authors, in this article, discuss the ethics and rights that help define human life and dignity, building on the American principle of Biomedical Ethics according to the analytical criteria used by Jonsen, Siegler and Winslade (medical indications; patient preferences; quality of life and contextual features) analysing four emblematic clinical cases. This allows the authors to search for correspondence between legislation and the consolidated ethical aspects which have emerged, and at the same time highlighting the virtues and contradictions found in the different approaches utilized. In conclusion, the authors question whether or not "medical ethics" can play a role in the dialogue between clinical ethics and legislation.
