The subject or purpose of this essay is to emphasize the importance of Bioethics in the area of health in order to create a culture of health.  To the point that the duties and the rights of all human beings refer to the person, and assistance as a fundamental principle of bioethics, it will mean defining this discipline by its formal object, as a science of the health of the culture.  Bioethics as do all sciences, delves deeply into the study of principles and their application. It should know the theoretical foundations and the mechanisms by which the theoretical propositions are compatible with phenomenological facts, the principles with the criteria, and the truth with its meaning.  The assistance principle will behave in reference to the assistance criteria as the moral, criteria do concrete human acts.  Ethics, which refers to a predetermined human activity, must be related to the assistance criteria present in all human acts.  In all of theses acts they will have an ethical character.  They project themselves on assistance criteria, practical and concrete, adapted to of a moral order of reference.
