Assisted human reproduction (AHR) is the starting point of this reflection. This paper drafts an overview to sustain AHR as "a paradigm of perfection" or "reasons for achieving a desire." having bioethics as background evidence. Hence, this reflection relies on three ideas and how the bioethics principles may affect them. These proposals have to do with assisted reproduction techniques to seek the perfect human being, the use of these techniques to fulfill personal desires, and the commercial nature of desiring to buy a child. Different positions of monotheistic religions on these reproductive techniques are highlighted. Since the assisted reproduction techniques are developed in an area where many different emotional reactions and social stereotypes coexist, they may be misused whether at the setting up of "legal" or when their services are announced, and egg donors are considered altruistic. It is also worth mentioning the role multinationals play when they trade people's hopes when they embark on this procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]
