CASTILLO AROCHA, Ivette; CASTILLO GUZMAN, Antonio  and  AROCHA MARINO, Carmen. Some aspects related to bioethics and medical deontology. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2012, vol.31, n.4, pp. 406-416. ISSN 0864-0300.

When man first appeared on Earth, a new order was imposed upon the world, with a power capable of modifying all things therein, including himself. Man adapts natural conditions to his needs and interests, thus overcoming his dependence upon them. Life in society with other men ensures his survival. Based on observations of the world around him, man develops his own outlook on reality and an explanatory philosophy of himself and nature. Social living gave rise to standards of conduct determining the obligations of men to one another, which in turn led to the emergence of morals as a system of rules related to customs.

Keywords : bioethics; deontology; morals.
