[Personalist bioethics in the university curriculum].

Growing awareness of the importance of Bioethics has meant that this subject has taken on an increasingly important role in higher education. However, its incorporation into the educational syllabus at different levels has been slower than might have been expected, particularly at pre-university and undergraduate level. This article reviews the current situation of personalist Bioethics in the university curriculum. Starting from an analysis of the way Bioethics has been included at undergraduate and graduate level, it goes on to explore the factors that may aid or hinder the development of this subject. The conclusion explains how teaching and learning about Bioethics in the university curriculum requires rigorous research with a sound theoretical basis in personalist philosophy, as understood by the 20th century personalist school of philosophers.
