Experience of dialogue between adults and young university students on gender issues
Author: Marta Rodríguez Díaz and Lílian Santos

The status of the human embryo: an interdisciplinary (bioethical) analysis of reality

The generational difference affects the student-university teacher relationship and has consequences on learning. To promote openness to dialogue among these groups on conflicting issues, a series of workshops were developed for a gender dialogue experience. The approach was multidisciplinary, including elements of philosophy, sociology, communication,  and  bioethics. The theoretical lines of approach were Engelhardt’s “moral  strangers”, a parallel with intercultural dialogue, and communication at the level of the values at stake. This article reports the methodology of the two-day workshops held at a university in Mexico. The participants were 50 young people (between 18 and 25 years) and 50 adults. Four workshops and two surveys were conducted, interspersed by three conferences. The article presents each activity with the corresponding learning objective and results. In conclusion, some lessons on intergenerational dialogue and on gender dialogue are offered.

Transhumanism and improving quality of life in the elderly: How could it shape the future of pain and suffering in the elderly?
Author: Francis Jude Selvaraj
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2024v35n1.02

It is postulated by 2050, the world population of the elderly, 60 years and above, will peak at about 20% of the total global population and it is expected that the plethora of age-related issues will be a strain at every stratum of life and  radically change health-care policies from individual to national levels. Besides the financial, social, and health implications, published data has also emphasized a lack of religious affiliations in the older to oldest age groups, therefore potentially, causing  this  segment  of  the  population  to  become  unconstraint  by religious philosophy and teachings on improved technologies to alleviate pain and suffering.

Medical education and human rights in the medical units of Mexico: towards a new ethical horizon
Authors: Francisco Domingo Vázquez Martínez, María De Lourdes Mota Morales and Vianey Guadalupe Argüelles-Nava 
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2024v35n1.03

This paper deals with the importance of medical students in responding to the demands of medical care in Mexico; alludes to the historical process that determines this situation and the construction of the category “doctors  in  training”;  it refers to the working, educational and health  conditions of medical students in medical units, and their impact on the quality of medical care. From an ethical and human rights perspective, it is argued that medical education programs, and in particular the category of “doctors in training”, can, paradoxically, violate both the right to education and the right to medical care, and harm both the health of students and  that of the population they serve. It is concluded that a new ethical support for medical education in health care units should be developed.
