Abstract

The topics addressed in this work deal with the bioethical and legal conflicts in scenarios such as the termination of pregnancy, assisted reproductive technologies, technical developments in the genomic era, the reproductive cloning of human beings, divergences of sexual development and transsexualism, and a proposal for the analysis of ethical conflics in clinical practice. The joint work of students and professors has lead to identifying a set of issues that address both medical elements and cultural, moral, and legal variables in relation to the proposed topics, in order to offer the necessary elements to deal with the complexity of each of these issues, in which cinema has been used as a didactic and mimetic resource that organizes the argumentative process of each case."--page 2 of cover.
