Attitudes toward abortion and conscientious objection among medical students in Mexico
We conducted a survey on attitudes toward abortion and conscientious objection (CO) among Mexican medical students from Mexico City, where abortion was decriminalized in 2007, and Xalapa, a city where it was decriminalized in 2021. Fewer than half of them were aware of CO before participating. Men expressed greater support for CO than women. Agreement with CO was positively correlated with opposition to performing abortions for fear of stigma, an…
Should people be able to have access to medical assistance in dying to avoid living with Alzheimer's? Opinions from Mexico and Colombia
Growing population aging is accompanied by a growing fear of suffering dementia. Four hundred and thirty‐six Mexican and Colombian adults completed a survey about their opinion on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for patients with dementia, both in the early stage of the disease and in the advanced stage through an advance directive. In Colombia, MAID is allowed while in Mexico it is banned. The main reasons given by those who agreed with MAID …

Facing Death in Medical Training
This study explores how medical students feel about caring for terminally ill patients as well as how their medical courses prepare them for addressing end-of-life (EOL) issues with patients. Four hundred and five Mexican medical students were surveyed through the Student Views on Death questionnaire. The vast majority of students (94%) felt that physicians should inform patients of their impending death. Most students said they felt comfortable …
On Abortion
Elective abortion has become an issue of ethical and political debate in many countries including M exico. As gynecologists are directly involved in the practice of abortion, it is important to know the psychological meaning that the term ‘elective abortion’ has for them. This study explores the psychological meaning and attitudes toward elective abortion of one hundred and twenty‐three M exican gynecologists. We used the semantic networks techni…
On Euthanasia
Euthanasia has become the subject of ethical and political debate in many countries including Mexico. Since many physicians are deeply concerned about euthanasia, due to their crucial participation in its decision and implementation, it is important to know the psychological meaning that the term ‘euthanasia’ has for them, as well as their attitudes toward this practice. This study explores psychological meaning and attitudes toward euthanasia in…
Rodolfo Vázquez, Del aborto a la clonación. Principios de una bioética liberal
Si es cierto que la medicina vino a salvar la vida de la ética, como lo señaló Stephen Toulmin a los pocos años de que el término “bioética” se empleó por primera vez, también lo es que esta incipiente disciplina ahora debe ser rescatada del discurso dogmático que caracteriza gran parte de sus discusiones y publicaciones, las cuales, en el fondo, se basan más en creencias religiosas que en argumentos racionales. Esto ocurre especialmente en Méxic…
