Abstract:
Enforced disappearances in Mexico represent one of the most severe humanitarian crises in Latin America, with over 125,000 missing persons officially registered since 2006. This phenomenon intersects deeply with bioethics, as it challenges fundamental principles of human dignity, autonomy, justice, and the right to truth. The present study examines the ethical dimensions of enforced disappearances through a qualitative design combining semi-structured interviews with relatives of victims, human rights advocates, and health professionals. The analysis focuses on the psychological and social consequences of disappearance and how bioethical principles can guide public health responses. Using thematic analysis, findings reveal ethical conflicts between state power and moral responsibility, highlighting the urgent need for ethical frameworks in justice and health policies. This paper concludes that bio ethics provides a normative foundation to confront the dehumanization and institutional violence underlying forced disappearances.
