Abstract

Latin America is a region with 45% of its population living in poverty and 10% of the regional population living in extreme poverty. But there are more natives and more women than men in these situations: how then to think about bioethics in this context?
What freedom – and for whom? Where is this abstract subject that advocates the principle of autonomy when 50% of the population of Latin America is poor and is subject to constraints for every life project that the situation of poverty imposes?
