Aspectos éticos del debate de las células madre [Ethical aspects of the debate on stem Cells]
Abstract
"Este artículo desarrolla una aproximación a la ética de las células madre desde una perspectiva de inspiración cristiana. En su iniciación se establecen algunas diferencias fi losófi cas entre los conceptos de «ética» y «moral». Se expone primero la perspectiva post-kantiana vigente en el plano académico, que diferencia y distingue los conceptos de ética y moral. Y posteriormente el planteamiento de la tradición moral, que identifi ca unitariamente ambos conceptos. Desde esta última perspectiva, se aborda luego un planteamiento ético orientado al discurso de la ética civil, al debate social. Finalmente, desde una perspectiva de ética civil se contemplan y analizan diferentes opciones sobre la investigación con células madre humanas, considerando diversos modelos de obtención de células pluri-potentes en los cuales el diseño se propone respetar la vida de los embriones humanos". ["This article provides an approximation to the ethics of stem cells based on a Christian perspective. It commences by pointing to some of the philosophical differences between the concepts of «ethics» and «morality». It presents the post-Kant viewpoint currently adopted in the academic sphere, which clearly differentiates and distinguishes between the concepts of «ethics» and «morality»; and then presents the focus of traditional morality which identifi es both concepts as one. From this latter perspective, it broaches an ethical approach orientated towards the discourse of civil ethics, the social debate. Finally, from the standpoint of civil ethics it examines and analyses different options regarding research with human stem cells, taking into consideration different means of obtaining pluripotent cells designed to respect the life of human embryos".]Date

What is Moral and (or) Ethical Leadership?Ilomäki, Markus (UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ, 2014-10)Are we in need of moral and (or) ethical leadership? It is not hard to answer this question and as time has passed it has become more or less a rhetorical question. All one has to do is open the newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, to discover that someone has had to step down or resign after unethical practices in business or politics. It is not long ago that EU elected the French banker Jean-Claude Trichet to head its central bank after a delay due to Mr. Trichet being tried for fraud in France. Following this event Silvio Berlusconi received the EU presidency for the next six months while corruption charges still persist on his head (BBC News). Some months later Italian foods giant Parmalat suddenly files for bankruptcy because billions of euros are missing from its books; the list goes on and on. It is clear that if moral and ethical leadership is needed it is needed today more than ever.
