The intervention bioethics in decolonial contexts

The present study aims to show the alignment of bioethics of intervention with decolonial proposals, understood as criticisms and alternatives to the coloniality logic's operation mode. The bond of the refereed bioethics proposal with the criticisms towards the colonial power pattern is through the proposition of the inexorable link with the most vulnerable part of society. For the defense of the group that is most affected by the vulnerability, it is suggested that the axes such as criticism, dialogue, relations with the State must be reviewed from the perspective of the most vulnerable ones and not just for those most vulnerable. In this context, the perception of intersectionality vulnerabilities is essential.
