MOLINS I PARONELLA, Anna. Children's omnipotence: a bioethical issue. The need and urgency to rethink education within the framework of care ethics. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.49, pp.93-106.  Epub 19-Oct-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

Education, both at the early levels of socialization and in the later stages of formal education, is putting at risk the development of the individual autonomy so necessary for the student to reach the maturity of adulthood. Educational policies, the new educational models and society itself are dissociating progressive autonomy from responsibility, feelings of reason, emotion from will and motivation of duty in their educational practice. The consequences are that students are anchored in childish attitudes of omnipotence with an inability to adjust accordingly to reality and reacting, in most cases, aggressively. Bioethics and education have a necessary relationship with the construction of moral and autonomous subjects. Bioethics, which has a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary character, must address the current and complex problems of education and contribute to thinking about educational models that form committed, responsible and supportive citizens. An educational model must be constructed within a bioethical debate and, within the framework of the ethics of care, without dissociating itself from normative ethics.

Palabras clave : individual autonomy; education; educational models; care ethics; bioethics.
