Vol. 2 No. Especial II (2022): A Bioética em Moçambique: estudos e pesquisas

Bioethics is a discourse about tolerance. The recognition of humanity's moral plurality, and the idea that different beliefs and values govern topics such as abortion, euthanasia and cloning, made it imperative to structure an academic discipline that reflects on these conflicts, frequent in the field of health (Débora Diniz and Dirce Guilhem, 2012). According to Garrafa (2006), it is necessary to reflect on the bioethics of emerging situations that are linked to recent topics such as, for example, the human genome project and all situations relevant to genetic engineering, including predictive medicine and gene therapy; donations and transplants of human organs and tissues, with all their inferences that are reflected in the life and death of people in society. It was based on this reflection that research and studies were gathered that analyze and discuss various public health problems in Mozambique closely linked to Bioethics. It is important to discuss these issues so that we can have a fairer and healthier society.
