L’insegnamento di Bioetica e Diritti umani nei corsi di laurea delle professioni sanitarie

This article shows the reasons why teaching “Bioethics and Human Rights” fits well within degree courses for Health Care professions. Bioethics and human rights have in common three perspectives (integration, unification, clarification) in the medical arena. The years after the Second World War showed how bioethics, human rights and medicine are closely related. Besides, the Author highlights how, as years went by, the relationship between human rights and bioethics grew closer and closer and increasingly involved medicine and health care practitioners. Therefore, it is necessary to face a new “anthropological emergency” and to give students the opportunity to develop their critical thinking and logical argumentation abilities as well as their interest in academic research.
