چکیده

In Mexico, as in many other countries, there are numerous situations involving bioethics that are not necessarily covered by officially sanctioned policies or guidelines. In such cases, it is reasonable to describe commonly accepted rules, opinions, and practices in a general way so as to illustrate how bioethical questions are being managed. This article describes certain goals and practices relating to education in bioethics in Mexico. It then outlines Mexican laws and procedures governing research on human subjects, cites certain official rules and activities relating to regulation of human reproduction, quotes literature dealing with intervention in human procreation, discusses artificial prolongation of life, describes laws and practices governing organ transplants, considers ethical issues relating to such transplants, reviews the AIDS situation, and describes how the need for confidentiality is dealt with in managing AIDS cases and related data. In this manner it indicates how bioethical questions in these various areas are being handled and points out certain priority areas needing work.
