Critical analysis of the bioethics, work and health interface

Abstract

With the current Brazilian labor counter-reforms, the topic becomes more present in political discussions. In this context, bioethics can help to understand the limits and possibilities of the current social scenario. Thus, this study analyzes the interface between bioethics, healthcare and work, as well as its relevance as a research topic. We chose the reflexive essay format and divided the text into three parts. The first addresses the work in healthcare and its ethical aspects, the second presents the relation between bioethics and this type of work considering mainly its performance, and the third addresses the bioethical-work relationship through the criticism of morals and the laws in capitalism. Finally, we make a brief suggestion on how to base this topic from the point of view of expanding its scope from a critical perspective.
