Categorías bioéticas en la interpretación de ser mujer con morbilidad materna extrema

Abstract

In this reflection paper, derived from research, the categories of bioethical analysis that con-tribute to the interpretation of the experience of being a woman with extreme maternal mor-bidity are discussed. Categories with highest potential toward this interpretation are equity, autonomy, justice, conception of good and evil, access to healthcare services, life conditions from a cultural pluralism perspective, communication and language, and bioethical dilemma, the last one being a tool that allows to focus these categories on concrete problems. These categories of analysis have a key role, allowing the interpretation of different life issues using bioethics as a dialogic and orientating foundation
