Resumen
[EN] Considered from a normative perspective, secular bioethics does not require anything
from a theological discourse. And likewise, it does not require anything from an atheist
discourse either. It depends rather on a debate whose pluralism has to be grounded in
secular conditions. Therefore, it cannot be expected that a substantive approach should
be the ground of the public bioethical discourse.
A different question would be the proper place of religion (religions with political
valence as Christianity) at legally tackling bioethical issues which touch upon sensitive
religious topics. But this is a political matter, not a theoretical gap.
