Fran Gómez, IES s'Agulla, Blanes - "Bioethics as a defensive framework for addressing emerging realities"

This research project argues that ethical reflection is often overlooked when integrating scientific and technological advances into society, proposing the use of the Delphi method for the effective handling of bioethical concerns. Engaging experts from diverse fields—philosophy, technology, and science—in discussion on the topic, the study authors posed a series of questions or dilemmas to each one separately, collecting their respective answers. Experts’ thoughts were compared to find similarities and differences, leading to significant conclusions.
One conclusion drawn is the need to incorporate ethical debates into education, suggesting the addition of a bioethics course to foster ethical reflection among young people. This study confirmed the working hypothesis, underscoring the importance of considering the ethical implications of scientific and technological advancements.
