El imperativo eudemonista de nuestra cultura presenta la muerte como problema. El suicidio ha de evitarse, por ejemplo a través de la medicalización y/o de la penalización. Esta temática ha sido abordada por la religión, el arte, la literatura, el cine, la sociología y la medicina. Este trabajo presenta un enfoque filosófico que legitima el suicidio en ciertas circunstancias. Se analiza el pensamiento de algunos filósofos estoicos, de David Hume y de John Stuart Mill, quienes reflexionan críticamente sobre los límites de la moralidad, de la autonomía y de la racionalidad del suicidio. Se destaca la nacesidad de considerar la calidad de la vida humana desde una dimensión antropológica y no como un artilugio técnico.

Bioethics seems to be the most important branch of applied ethics. It concerns both philosophers and scientists. Such crucial questions as health care, ART, genetic engineering, abortion, euthanasia, suicide, trasplanation, population issues, animal rights and the like are just examples of questions are being dealt with in this decipline. Due to special nature of these questions, to offer a sufficient moral theory, in addition to seven criteria of applicability i.e., clarity, completeness, comprehensiveness, practicability as well as justificatory, output and explanatory powers, an internal urging power is needed. And that may be achieved by divine persuasion to follow rational moral principles which are comprehensible by human faculty. Accordingly, in the level of content moral principles are rational norms, but in the level of implementation divine command is an urging motivation to persuade human agents to act morally. And by this, we would have a non-divine command moral theory which gives considerable role to religious beliefs. Also in this article in addition to dealing with main moral theories, Kantian, utilitarianism, virtue ethics and religious approach to biotechnological issues and their implications in this field, I have offered certain moral principles which can be applied as guiding principles biotechnological questions
