Abstract

Resumen: El litigio que enfrentó a los padres del niño Charlie Gard contra el Great Ormond Street Hospital de Londres, primero, y contra el propio Reino Unido, después, generó efectos mediáticos a nivel mundial pero escaso debate desde la perspectiva bioética. En el presente artículo se resumen algunos aspectos relevantes de la controversia que permiten analizar tres de las lecciones formuladas por Wilkinson y Savulescu al respecto. Se plantean además dos reflexiones bioéticas: la primera en relación a la dificultad en la aplicación de principios para examinar el caso, y la segunda referida a la interdisciplinariedad requerida para su análisis. Palabras clave: bioética, filosofía, problemas bioéticos, ética basada en principios, análisis ético Bioethical approximations to the case of Charlie Gard Abstract: The litigation that confronted the parents of the child Charlie Gard against the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, first, and against the United Kingdom itself, later, generated media effects worldwide but little debate from a bioethical perspective. This article summarizes some relevant aspects of the controversy that allow analyzing three of the lessons formulated by Wilkinson and Savulescu in this regard. Two bioethical reflections are also proposed: the first in relation to the difficulty in the application of principles to examine the case, and the second referred to the interdisciplinarity required for its analysis.
