[The religious convictions in the argumentation bioethics. Two different secularists perspectives: Sádaba and Habermas-Rawls] Cuad Bioet. 2008 Jan-Apr;19(65):29-41 Authors: Burgos Velasco JM This article analyses the position of two secularized theories on the role of religious beliefs in bioethical reasoning. The excluding laicism of Sádaba rejects the rationality of religious fact and extend a general suspicion about the bioethical reasoning of believer. Contrary, the open position of Habermas-Rawls considers reasonable religions as one of the typical comprehensive views of liberal State, encourage secularized citizens to value his contributions and urge to secular and, then, neutral, State not to impose to all citizens a secularized cosmo-vision. Only the second perspective put the bases for a fruitful and calm dialogue in the bioethical area. PMID: 18402228 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
