El presente libro tiene como objetivo abrir espacios de reflexión y deliberación desde la bioética hacia el campo de las ciencias de la vida y la salud pública, para resolver los problemas éticos en la defensa de la integridad, la dignidad y la igualdad de las personas en situaciones donde impacta el derecho a la salud y las conductas de las autoridades sanitarias.

Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
