Abstract

Cruz García Lirios

Abstract This study explores critical bioethics in Latin America through simulated qualitative evidence. The objective was to examine how stakeholders perceive ethical challenges, social inequities, and governance in regional health systems. A simulated sample of 30 informants, including health professionals, policymakers, academics, and community leaders, was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results indicate that justice, equity, and participation are central concerns, while institutional resistance and cultural diversity influence the application of bioethical principles. These findings highlight the relevance of integrating critical bioethics into health policy frameworks to enhance social justice and participatory governance.
