Abstract

The term bioethics can be defined as a discipline that studies the dimensions of morals, decisions, behaviour and policies of the life sciences and health care. Its objective is auxiliary, guiding on the implications of phenome, where infinite dilemmatic situations arise. The crisis that is currently facing the current pandemic is a public health crisis. The priority in the face of this crisis should be the health system and its professionals. To overcome this crisis, it is not only a matter of public authorities and powers. It is essential that the entire population implements the bioethics exercise, complying with the isolation and hygiene measures, whatever has been determined where they have been adopted.
