摘要:To discern the future of bioethics we must first contemplate the very concept of future, as well as our practical relationship with the future itself. Here I will subject to criticism the idea of a future that is already somehow present, and in sight. This idea divests the future of all its futurity , becoming, therefore, inconsistent. I propose to regard the future as a task, a kind of agenda: the future is not in sight, but instead it should be freely done. In this sense, it is useless to try to catch a glimpse or guess the future of bioethics. I would suggest, instead, the task of creating future bioethics. As things stand, the main role of bioethics can no longer be to deliberate and choose among the options presented, but rather to create new courses of action to better protect and promote life in general and human life in particular. Hence, in this paper I advocate a bioethics of creativity, which could overcome many bioethical dilemmas.
