Summary:
"En 2021 se cumplieron 50 años de la publicación de Bioethics: Bridge to the Future, texto indispensable cuando se cavila acerca de la salud de nuestra casa, la Tierra. Van Rensselaer Potter -1911-2001-, bioquímico estadounidense, profesor de Oncología en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, retomó el término bioética, acuñado previamente por Fritz Jahr, cuyo propósito fundamental consiste en sumar las voces de humanistas y científicos a favor de la Tierra. Cincuenta años después de la publicación de Bioethics: Bridge to the Future, la salud de la Tierra ha empeorado.Cada día la prensa informa sobre nuevos desastres ecológicos. Día tras día científicos y humanistas advierten sobre los peligros latentes debidos al uso irracional de la tecnología sobre la Tierra, y subrayan que de no modificarse elpapel depredador del ser humano en el corto plazo la humanidad entera corre peligro. Las voces aquí reunidas, intranquilas por la continuidad de nuestra especie, celebramos la lúcida iniciativa de Potter e instamos a la sociedad para contagiar la idea seminal de la bioética, cuyo leitmotiv se encuadra en la palabra supervivencia. Convencer a políticos y empresarios de sus acciones nocivas es función de la sociedad. De no modificarse el rumbo depredador contra la naturaleza, el futuro y el de nuestros descendientes se encuentra amenazado." -- page 4 of the cover
"In 2021, 50 years have passed since the publication of Bioethics: Bridge to the Future, an essential text when reflecting on the health of our home, the Earth. Van Rensselaer Potter -1911-2001-, American biochemist, professor of Oncology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, took up the term bioethics, previously coined by Fritz Jahr, whose fundamental purpose is to add the voices of humanists and scientists in favor of Land. Fifty years after the publication of Bioethics: Bridge to the Future, the health of the Earth has worsened. Every day the press reports on new ecological disasters. Day after day, scientists and humanists warn about the latent dangers due to the irrational use of technology on Earth, and emphasize that if the predatory role of human beings is not modified in the short term, all of humanity is in danger. The voices gathered here, uneasy about the continuity of our species, celebrate Potter's lucid initiative and urge society to spread the seminal idea of bioethics, whose leitmotiv is framed in the word survival. Convincing politicians and businessmen of their harmful actions is the function of society. If the predatory course against nature is not modified, the future and that of our descendants is threatened." -- cataloger's translation
