Por uma bioética queer: perspectivas a partir do Sul Global

The aim of this article is to investigate the intersections between the LGBTI+ agenda and bioethics as a disciplinary field. This research is based on a qualitative analysis and bibliographic review that encompasses various topics related to bioethics, post-colonial studies, queer theory, human rights, and international relations. Through reflections on the political and social context that preceded the emergence of bioethics, focusing on the interpretation of sexuality and gender identity during colonial and imperial periods, we seek to understand how historical perspectives influenced the evolution of bioethics. Additionally, we aim to examine the consolidation of bioethics as a disciplinary field and area of scientific knowledge, highlighting the predominance of principlism in the second half of the 20th century. In this sense, we will analyze the potential of a feminist approach in bioethics to address the inequalities and oppressions present within its own structure, with a critical and reflexive view. Finally, we intend to present how the epistemological contributions of queer theory can support the development of a queer bioethics, from the Global South. These discussions aim to broaden the reflection on the inequalities and oppressions faced by the LGBTI+ community as a social group within the context of bioethics.
