Bioethics, Religion and Spirituality

Last Friday, 8 November 2024, Professor Rafael Amo contributed his reflections to the 17th Seminar on Biomedicine, Ethics and Human Rights, under the theme "Bioethics, Religion and Spirituality". This seminar was organised by the Francisco Vallés Institute of Clinical Ethics, the European University and the ASISA Foundation.

In this context, Professor Amo was in charge of discerning, as a Catholic, on the clinical relationship at the round table, which also included the intervention of the Jewish and Islamic faiths. Professor Amo, as an expert in Bioethics, offered keys for dealing with the healthcare relationship from a Catholic perspective.
