The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights arose from the need to create universal references based on common ethical values, trained to guide and control technoscientific development, establishing common principles regarding ethical issues related to medicine, science of life and technologies applied to human beings, taking into account their social, legal and environmental dimensions. It includes bioethics aspects related to justice, respect for human dignity and protection of human rights, ensuring respect for the lives of human beings and fundamental freedoms.

Throughout history, technology has helped to improve human capacities, as well as, to improve the lives of human beings, however, the dehumanization in medicine arises because of this, since daily work is increasingly linked to technology, leaving aside the humanistic and humanitarian attitudes. All this has led to the loss of the central vision of the man in the care processes, sometimes reaching situations of dehumanization that damage the dignity of people. In the healthcare field, technology and humanism are often seen as opposing or even exclusive elements, when in reality what happens is that both are complementary in health care in general and in particular in care nurses.

From my point of view, it is necessary to create an environment in which the values, customs, and beliefs of the individual are respected, promoting autonomy, respect for the patient's free decision and their dignity as a person. All this requires us as professionals, to possess bioethics sensibility and moral reasoning capacity for the adequate decision-making in the performance of our task and, to be able to provide quality care, where the patient is considered as the central axis to provide care. -Humanist, timely, safe and individualized, having as a premise the protection of human rights, as a universal frame of reference that guides our decisions and our daily work.
