Ecology and Bioethics. When limits are not enough

Abstract

Ecology and bioethics as new disciplines appear during the twentieth century as a result of the horror produced by industrial and technological abusese. Therefore, as is generally conceded, they have a common and positive origin. Critics comprised mainly of writers, however, have observed that bioethics has led to a complacent, attitude that ultimate serves to provide moral alibis for much of the abuses made in the name of science.
