El presente y el futuro","authors":["Jorge A. Lazareff"],"abstract":"Background: Dr. Alejandra Rabadán, a prominent Argentine Neurosurgeon, edited 'Desafíos bioéticos en neurociencias del siglo XXI,' which addresses the ethical challenges in clinical neurosurgery. This book features contributions from 26 coauthors, including experts in neurosurgery, neurology, philosophy, law, and psychology. It is recognized as a comprehensive contemporary review in Spanish on the subject of bioethics in neuroscience. Summary: The text covers a wide range of topics, from fetal surgery to psychiatric surgery and stem cell therapy, providing valuable clinical information supported by current research and randomized control trials. However, the bioethical discussions are limited, with only a few paragraphs dedicated to this critical aspect, primarily reflecting a deontological perspective. The book serves as a resource for neurosurgeons interested in the ethical implications of their practice. Conclusion: The book raises important questions about the future of neurosurgery and the ethical considerations surrounding the modification of human behavior through surgical interventions. Despite the limitations in the depth of bioethical discussion, it is a significant contribution to the field, and Dr. Rabadán's absence in future editions is a notable loss for the profession.
