title: [Bioethics panorama in Mexico].
abstract: Ethical values and principles are singular and immutable, but this is not true of their interpretation and application. In Mexico, even though these values and principles are respected in medical practice, the teaching of bioethics is non-existent and in most of the schools for health professionals the subject is not included in the curriculum. Nevertheless, Mexican society has made notable progress in the legislation and regulation of ethical aspects of such activities as research on human subjects, fertility regulation, the right to death with dignity, organ transplants, and AIDS.
