Abstract
GONCALVES DOS SANTOS FEIJO, Anamaria; CRIPPA, Anelise and LAUREN STEFFEN, Jéssica. Proposal for bioethics education in Animal Ethics. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2016, n.36, pp.85-91. ISSN 1886-5887. https://dx.doi.org/10.1344/rbd2016.36.15379.
This study proposes the continuous bioethics education in university health and biology courses. A field study was conducted with matriculating students at a university in southern Brazil about the ethics and legal questions regarding the use of animals in research and teaching. It was found that almost half of the students were unaware of important animal ethics issues, showing that these themes are merely incipient in the education provided within this particular university. Considering this reality, the inclusion of bioethics only as a discipline and isolated from the formal curriculum has not been effective and that bioethics education, incorporating polemic subjects such as animal ethics, should be included in an all-encompassing and constant approach throughout the training of students in biomedical fields.
Keywords : education; bioethics; animal ethics; brazilian legislation.
