The purpose of this paper is to review the limitations in the current view of bioethics to face the challenges posed by the techno-scientific risk society to life. We conducted an exploratory study whose approach to the research problem is supported by complexity and whose methodology is a narrative review of such topics. For this purpose, an overview of the concepts related to global bioethics and complexity is made in light of the texts analyzed, the restrictions of the current perspective are shown, and the essential criteria to develop a complex perspective of phenomena are determined. Under these conditions, we propose to treat complexity as a central element to substantiate global bioethics. The article presents several reflections on the relevance of this view of global bioethics to tackle the phenomenon of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
