• Resumen

  • The anthropological and sociological critiques of bioethics are numerous, in particular how bioethics lacks an empirically-based approach to the norms and values it is specifically centred on.

    As an anthropologist, studying the clinic as a plural space where norms and values are daily negotiated (or not), this paper will explore how medical knowledge and physicians’ values and practices are intertwined in establishing the “norm frame” within the hospital.
