RUIZ-DE-CHAVEZ-GUERRERO, Manuel-Hugo  e  SALINAS-DE-LA-TORRE, Erika-Judith. State Bioethics Commissions in Mexico, Achievements and Challenges. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2017, n.39, pp.87-102.  Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

Comparative studies have been developed on the infrastructure on bioethics of different countries, comprised mainly by national commissions, hospital bioethics and research ethics committees; however, there are few data on the application of bioethics at the subnational level. This work offers an approximation to the evolution of the State Commissions of Bioethics in Mexico and accounts for their work in outreach, education, and counseling, as well as entrenching a culture of bioethics in medical care and networking with the National Bioethics Commission and other health and educational institutions. State Commissions help to promote bioethics at the subnational level and to foster comprehensive care in complex medical and research settings.

Palavras-chave : national bioethics commissions; state bioethics commission; infrastructure in bioethics; public health policies; bioethics.
