Abstract

The article aims to show the trends that have occurred in the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. We establish three lines of interest (human dignity; right to health and adequate medical practices; clinical bioethics and right to life), as well as a fourth line of jurisprudence with the Poblete Vílches vs.Chile Case. We are facing jurisprudence that develops a new concern of the Court for these issues.
