DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n3.01

Conceived as an organic body in its constitution, structure and organization, this article analyzes the various circumstances in which there is a relationship between clinical ethics and the  family,  mainly  emphasizing  the  difference  between  individual  autonomy and family authority.

The therapeutic principle facing cognitive enhancement by drugs
Author: Lorea Sagasti Pazos
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n3.02

The therapeutic principle facing cognitive enhancement by drugs

This qualitative research uses a methodology of literature review, analysis and phenomenological analysis. Currently, there are reports of non-prescribed  use,  by  healthy  people,  of  drugs  for  the  treatment  of  cognitive ailments. Such intake has been carried out for the purpose of enhancing specific cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration and reaction capacity.  This  non-recommended  use  of  drugs  has  been  documented through a series of research and surveys that find an upward trend in the consumption of these drugs, especially in specific sectors of the population, such as university students in developed countries. The potentiating character of these drugs when consumed by healthy people leads to the need to contrast their use with the bioethical principle of totality or “therapeutic”. 

Bioethical dilemmas in clinical practice and chronic pain management
Author: Dídimo Castillo Fernández
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n3.03

Bioethical dilemmas in clinical practice and chronic pain management

Clinical bioethics has evolved in the affirmation of the fundamental general principles that protect people’s health. The management and relief of pain is a  universally recognized human right, susceptible to ethical and bioethical scrutiny, since it involves making decisions that compromise people’s quality of life. The ethical dilemma of pain management often involves conflicts of values in crucial decisions, especially  when  there  is  no  single  alternative,  treatment  and  intervention  strategies that are sufficiently shared and accepted. The ethical and bioethical  problem  in  pain  management,  especially in patients with chronic conditions and/or stress, at the end of life continues to represent  a  challenge  for  clinical  practice,  with  diverse  consequences  in adult patients and repercussions in health systems and the family and social environment of these patients.
