          Abstract

          Desde os anos 1990 a bioética tem se aproximado cada vez mais das discussões internacionais relacionadas à saúde e às ciências da vida, o que levou alguns autores a referir-se à "bioética global". O presente artigo analisa este conceito tal como elaborado nas perspectivas de três formulações teóricas da bioética norte-americana: a de Van Rensselaer Potter, a de Tristam Engelhardt e a de Beauchamp e Childress. Ao balancear as potencialidades e as insuficiências das abordagens destes autores, propõe a "bioética crítica" como alternativa teórica melhor capacitada para enfrentar os temas globais da bioética a partir da perspectiva histórica dos países do Sul global.

          Desde la década de 1990 la bioética se ha acercado cada vez más a los debates relacionados con las ciencias de la vida y la salud internacional, lo que llevó a algunos autores a referirse a la "bioética global". En este artículo se examina este concepto desarrollado en las perspectivas teóricas de tres formulaciones de la bioética estadunidense: Van Rensselaer Potter, Tristram Engelhardt y Beauchamp y Childress. Al evaluar las fortalezas y debilidades de los enfoques de estos autores, propone la "bioética crítica" como una alternativa teórica más cualificada para hacer frente a los problemas mundiales de la bioética desde la perspectiva histórica de los países del Sur global.

          Translated abstract

          Since the 1990s bioethics has increasingly approached the discussions related to international health and life sciences, which led some authors to refer to the "global bioethics". This article examines this concept as elaborated in the theoretical perspectives of three formulations of North American bioethics: Van Rensselaer Potter, the Tristram Engelhardt, and Beauchamp and Childress. By balancing the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches of these authors, it is proposed the "critical bioethics" as the best qualified alternative theoretical to address the global issues of bioethics from the historical perspective of the countries of the Global South.

              Intervention bioethics: a proposal for peripheral countries in a context of power and injustice.

              The bioethics of the so-called 'peripheral countries' must preferably be concerned with persistent situations, that is, with those problems that are still happening, but should not happen anymore in the 21st century. Resulting conflicts cannot be exclusively analysed based on ethical (or bioethical) theories derived from 'central countries.' The authors warn of the growing lack of political analysis of moral conflicts and of human indignation. The indiscriminate utilisation of the bioethics justification as a neutral methodological tool softens and even cancels out the seriousness of several problems, even those that might result in the most profound social distortions. The current study takes as a theoretical reference the fact that natural resources (which affect us all) are relevant. Based on these premises, and on the concept that equity means 'treating unevenly the unequal', a proposal of a hard bioethics (or intervention bioethics) is introduced, in defence of the historical insights and rights of economically and socially excluded populations that are separated from the international developmental process.
