Resumen

AMARO CANO, María del Carmen. Sexuality and bioethics. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2005, vol.21, n.1-2. ISSN 0864-2125.

Sexuality as a set of emotional and behavioural phenomena related to sex decisively labels the human beign in all the phases of his development. Considered along history as a natural and innate force, we are even more convinced that the social influences take part in it, too. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the most significant aspects connected with sexuality that increasingly demand a bioethical approach of these matters, that is, to propitiate the analysis of these natural, psychological and social phenomena that link persons, to the light of moral values. The claiming of a systematic and progressive sexual education from puberty to adulthood; the critical analysis of the ethical violations resulting from the disrespect of human dignity in the case of pornography and prostitution, including children in these trade relations related to sex; the intolerance against different sexual options, the limits of sexual liberty based on the respect to others' sexual liberty, the protection of the immature and unable to establish responsible sexual relations; the extramarital sexual relations or the sex had only for pleasure; the critical analysis of the consequences for third persons that cannot give an opinion about their future regarding the adoption of children by homosexual males, or the assisted reproduction in lesbian couples, the rented mothers or substitute or carrier mothers, are some of the topics the author puts into our consideration to be discussed, demanding a thorough analysis and reflection.

Palabras clave : Sexuality; bioethics; sexual behaviour.
