Abstract
"Bioethical discourse, as it relates to common experiences of older people, has tended to focus on conflictive issues as they arise in long–term care. The primary value that this discourse upholds is autonomy, understood as self–direction, and the method of analysis is generally principle– and rule– based. Many good changes in long–term care have come as the result of these efforts. But much of ethical importance is left out, limited by how this form of discourse defines and addresses problems. This paper explores a more expansive view of ethics that attends to context and the particular features of being an older person in often– inhospitable settings, takes embodiment as a key feature in our moral lives, and situates individuals in important relationships. Using narratives familiar to those who work with older people, especially in clinical settings, this paper will also suggest ways to reconfigure the familiar subject matter of bioethics and long–term care. It will challenge the dominance of existing values and so leave new spaces for ethical action. By bringing in culture, embodiment, and elder subjectivity, it will begin to move from the bioethics of long–term care to a concept of ethics and the older person" ["El discurso bioético, referido a las experiencias comunes del adulto mayor, ha tendido a focalizarse en los temas conflictivos que se originan en la atención de largo plazo. El principal valor que este discurso sustenta es el de autonomía, entendida como auto–dirección cuyo método de análisis está generalmente basado en principios y reglas. Muchos cambios importantes en el cuidado de largo plazo se han producido como resultado de estos esfuerzos. Pero muchos aspectos de importancia ética han sido dejados al margen, limitado por la forma en que este tipo de discurso defina y aborde los problemas. Este artículo explora una visión más expansiva de la Ética que presta atención al contexto y a las características particulares de ser un anciano, en entornos a menudo inhóspitos; considera la corporalidad como una característica fundamental en nuestra vida moral y sitúa las relaciones interpersonales en un plano de real importancia. Usando un lenguaje familiar para aquellos que trabajan con ancianos, especialmente en ambientes clínicos, este artículo también sugerirá caminos para re–configurar el familiar tema de la Bioética y la atención de largo plazo. Desafiará el dominio de valores existentes, abriendo así nuevos espacios para la acción ética. Al introducir la cultura, la corporalidad y la subjetividad del anciano, la bioética del cuidado de largo plazo se desplazará hacia un concepto de ética y adulto mayor"]
