Este libro se ha escrito para explicar, de forma divulgativa, investigaciones científicas que despiertan interés por su posible aplicación en medicina humana. Son esfuerzos por desarrollar terapias novedosas para enfermedades sin tratamiento eficaz. La exploración científica biomédica en marcha puede implicar actuaciones sobre el organismo humano, especialmente en etapas embrionarias muy tempranas. Además del debate propiamente científico, las investigaciones que aquí comentamos obligan a reflexionar sobre la ética de las intervenciones biotécnicas que se están practicando.

This book is the first in a series of planned volumes focused on preserving the character of the development of bioethics in particular cultural contexts. As the first of these volumes, Leo Pessini, Christian de Paul de Barchifontaine, and Fernando Lolas Stepke’s work has succeeded well. It has brought together accounts by sch- ars who were crucial to the emergence of bioethics in the Ibero-American cultural domain.

This book details the immense impact that Jorge Luis Borges has had on the thinking and writing of the twentieth century and how many have misunderstood that impact. It highlights how his symbols, techniques, parody, irony, and artful ambiguity in his fiction, essays, and poems force us to question what we can know with certainty, what is real and what is dream, and who we are, and thus define what has become the core of the postmodern vision. The book explores Borges's distinctly Latin American postmodern pluralism. It details how this pluralism has informed the postmodern discussions of the self, love, history, feminism, and politics, and has influenced writers in the U.S. and Latin America. Throughout, it argues that the Argentine writer avoids the nihilism and chaos of a radical relativism that many have come to associate with postmodernism. Rather, his vision affirms values and a search for positive knowledge. Mark Frisch is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Duquesne University.

El autor, bioquímico de profesión, se acerca al problema de la dignidad que debe reconocérsele al embrión humano en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo desde la Biología molecular, utilizando la Filosofía procesual, como instrumento intelectual, para intentar comprender esa entidad original que debe construirse a lo largo de la vida: la persona humana. La presente obra, que comienza con una amplia reflexión filosófica sobre la vida, nos abre a una nueva perspectiva de la realidad del embrión, valorando la cultura de la vida frente a la imperante cultura de la muerte.
