Unfortunately, that concept is often construed with the false idea that in order to achieve this harmonized and durabledevelopment, especially in the Third World countries, it is necessary to reduce the birth rates of these populations, with no respect forethical norms or the inherent dignity of the human person. The defenders of this idea often attempt against those values that are inherentto society, including proposals that lead to the disintegration of the family as the natural institution whose essence is not subjectto whims or passing fads, not even to the nobler objective of producing a better world for our children. In this paper, apart from underliningthe basic and unalienable characteristics that make up the family as a natural institution that must be defended at all costs, theauthor proposes to show that attempts at demographic control are not only intrinsically unethical, but also not feasible in practicesince they will not lead to the sustainable development of the world, but on the contrary produce negative effects that will give rise toa de-humanized society. A proposal is made in favor of the correct application of the concept of sustainable development includingthe eradication of structural injustices in the world and of misery in the poorer nations, and the defense of the human person and societyon the basis of the promotion of the natural family as a key element in any true and effective development process. 2007 artículo científico 0123-3122 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=83211102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=832 Persona y Bioética application/pdf Universidad de La Sabana Persona y Bioética (Colombia) Num.28 Vol.11 |
