ARTICLES

Ontological personalism and personalist bioethics place the human person at the center of ethical considerations, advocating respect that reflects the intrinsic dignity and value of the person. This paper seeks to quantitatively evidence what is the academic influence of BPOF in today’s world and what is the vision that current bioethicists, considered personalists, have of BPOF itself, in order to establish a comparison with the original proposal. This helps us to better understand their criticisms and updates to favor a better understanding of the BPOF proposal and its dialogue with today’s world. The number of publications shows the influence of the BPOF in the academic world. The analysis of these reveals that many of the bioethical publications catalogued as personalist are not specific to the BPOF, as they lack the foundation, methodology or argumentation of the BPOF itself. This lack can lead to these singular proposals not being truly effective in the defense and promotion of the dignity of every human being, in addition to generating confusion in the understanding of the BPOF due to its lack of unity.

Liver failure is the fourth leading cause of death in Mexico. Treatment is exclusively symptomatic support, since the only curative therapy is liver transplantation, and Mexico is one of the countries with the fewest transplants worldwide, making the inclusion of early palliative care vital. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical characteristics and palliative needs of patients with non-oncologic liver failure in the palliative care service of the Hospital Gea González. An observational and retrospective study was carried out, of 80 records of patients with non-oncologic liver failure, attended from January 2021 to June 2023. All patients required palliative care, according to the palliative needs scale (NECPAL), and 80% had advanced chronic disease criteria, the main etiology being alcoholism. The need to include an early palliative care program is justified, which will have a lesser economic, social and psychological impact on Mexican families.
