Abstract:

The article analyzes the role of the Brazilian Society of Bioethics (SBB), especially its involvement in the “Frente pela Vida” movement, during the most critical years of the COVID-19 pandemic, between 2020 and 2021. It is research anchored in the theoretical frameworks of Critical Bioethics and carried out using qualitative methodology with a dialectical approach. The results demonstrate that during the analyzed period the Brazilian federal government acted aligned with a \"great “nebulouse\" that generated several bioethical conflicts. This nebulouse was sustained by an amalgam of interests of economic power, sectors of medical corporatism, and conservative political-ideological groups. On the other hand, the SBB and the entities of the “Frente pela Vida” articulated themselves as a \"counter-nebulouse\" of denunciation and resistance to bioethical conflicts. Considering that the interests of the \"great “nebulouse\" persist, especially in Brazilian State, it is concluded that the SBB and the entities of the Frente pela Vida must remain mobilized in social control, in defense of SUS, democracy and human rights in the country.
