0036/2024 - Atuação da Sociedade Brasileira de Bioética e da Frente pela Vida na Pandemia de Covid-19 sob ótica da Bioética Crítica The Role of the Brazilian Society of Bioethics and the “Frente pela Vida” in the COVID-19 Pandemicthe Perspective of Critical Bioethics
O artigo analisa a atuação da Sociedade Brasileira de Bioética (SBB), especialmente em sua inserção no movimento Frente Pela Vida, nos anos mais graves da pandemia de Covid-19, entre 2020 e 2021. Trata-se de pesquisa ancorada em referenciais teóricos da Bioética Crítica e realizada a partir de metodologia qualitativa de abordagem dialética. Os resultados demonstram que no período analisado o governo federal brasileiro atuou alinhado a uma “grande nebulosa” geradora de diversos conflitos bioéticos. Essa nebulosa sustentou-se em um amálgama de interesses do poder econômico, de setores do corporativismo médico, e de grupos político-partidários conservadores. Já a SBB e as entidades da Frente Pela Vida articularam-se como uma \"contra-nebulosa\" de denúncia e resistência aos conflitos bioéticos. Considerando que persiste a tentativa de atuação dos interesses da nebulosa no Estado brasileiro, conclui-se que a SBB e as entidades da Frente pela Vida devem seguir mobilizadas no controle social, na defesa do SUS, da democracia e dos direitos humanos no país.

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.
