ABSTRACT

La familia, más que el individuo, es el centro de la sociedad en Asia, aunque cada individuo sea reconocido como un ser independiente. No obstante, él y ella no son más que una entidad más pequeña en comparación con la entidad mayor que es la familia. ¿Quién toma decisiones cuando se busca tratamiento médico en una situación terminal? La familia será quien tome la decisión en la sociedad confuciana, y no el paciente. El papel de la familia es esencial en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Aunque la influencia del pensamiento bioético occidental en el proceso de deliberación asiático es innegable, Asia ha desarrollado gradualmente su propia bioética, que se ha visto enriquecida por sus culturas tradicionales. Uno de los logros es el modelo de toma de decisiones de participación mutua


In Asia, the family, rather than the individual, is the center of society, although each individual may be recognized as an independent being. Nevertheless, an individual is seen as no more than another, smaller entity in comparison with a larger self that is the family. Who makes the decision when medical treatment is sought, especially if the situation is life threatening? In a Confucian society, the decision will be taken by the family rather than by the patient. The role played by the family is essential in decision-making. Although the influence of western bioethical thinking toward Asian bioethical deliberation is undeniable, Asia has gradually developed its own bioethics enriched by its traditional cultures. One of the results is a decision-making procedure based on mutual participation
