¿Ciudades competitivas o saludables?
El Clúster de Servicios de Medicina y Odontología de Medellín es fruto de una alianza entre los sectores público y privado para el desarrollo empresarial de la ciudad, específicamente para la promoción y venta de servicios de salud a extranjeros, el llamado turismo médico. Esta investigación se propuso caracterizar el clúster analizando sus antecedentes, financiación, estado actual y valores orientadores, entre otros aspectos, para comprender los significados de lo público y la justicia social en su constitución y desarrollo. La conclusión es que la estrategia ha tenido resultados económicos significativos, en correspondencia con su comprensión de la salud en términos de productividad, competitividad e innovación. Sin embargo, a la luz de la bioética es necesario considerar los problemas de la salud en el contexto local, y su relación con la justicia social y sanitaria.
Bioética, biomedicina y economías de la vida
Es indudable que los avances de la ciencia y la técnica en el campo de la biomedicina han mejorado la calidad de vida de la humanidad. Pero no puede desconocerse que, en la escena del capitalismo global, están vinculados a fenómenos que afectan la dignidad humana: la banalización de la vida y la conversión de sus procesos en mercancías. Reducir los llamados bioobjetos (embriones, células madre, información genética, etc.) a artículos de consumo en el libre mercado lesiona el interés general y vulnera los derechos humanos de aquellos que no pueden entrar en la dinámica del intercambio. Frente al contractualismo liberal y la hipertrofia del principio de autonomía –que dominan el debate bioético contemporáneo–, el autor plantea el comu nitarismo sociológico como perspectiva para el análisis de la clonación terapéutica, la reproducción asistida, la eutanasia y otras prácticas relativas a la vida y la muerte. Su propuesta apunta a una ética de la corresponsabili dad, que articula los derechos del ámbito privado con los deberes del ámbito público y promueve la equidad en el acceso a las biotecnologías.

Albert Schweitzer's Ethical Vision A Sourcebook
The philosophy of Albert Schweitzer has proved widely influential in modern thinking, especially in the field of ethics. His leading ethical idea can be summarized in the phrase "reverence for life" - namely, that good consists in maintaining and perfecting life, and evil consists in destroying and obstructing life. For Schweitzer, all life is sacred. Ethics thus deals with human attitudes and behavior toward all living beings. Unlike many moral philosophers, Schweitzer argues that knowledge of human nature does not provide a sufficient foundation for any adequate moral theory. That is why he bases his ethics on much broader foundations, articulated in his philosophy of civilization and the ...
Myths of Harmony
This book centers on a foundational moment for Latin American racial constructs. While most contemporary scholarship has focused the explanation for racial tolerance-or its lack-in the colonial period, Marixa Lasso argues that the key to understanding the origins of modern race relations are to be found later, in the Age of Revolution.Lasso rejects the common assumption that subalterns were passive and alienated from Creole-led patriot movements, and instead demonstrates that during Colombia's revolution, free blacks and mulattos (pardos) actively joined and occasionally even led the cause to overthrow the Spanish colonial government. As part of their platform, patriots declared legal racial...
