Abstract
En los últimos años, algunos países emergentes como China, India y Brasil,
han experimentado importantes avances en el área de la innovación científicotecnológica.
En este artículo se realiza una primera aproximación a los dilemas
éticos que se plantean entre los diversos paradigmas-científico tecnológicos y
la mejora del bienestar de la población en estos países. Se evalúan los diversos
tipos de conocimiento (patentes y derechos de propiedad intelectual, conocimiento
tradicional, innovaciones de base social e innovaciones inclusivas) en
función de criterios que tienen que ver con su base local, los objetivos que persiguen
y los valores relacionados con esos objetivos. Para los países de renta
media y baja, las innovaciones de base social y las innovaciones inclusivas podrían
favorecer en mayor medida la mejora del bienestar de sus poblaciones.
In recent years, some emerging countries such as China, India and Brazil, have been major advances in the area of scientific and technological innovation. This article is a first approach to the ethical dilemmas that arise between various scientific and technological paradigms and the improvement of the well-being of the population in these countries. We evaluate the various types of knowledge (patents and intellectual property rights, traditional knowledge, grass-roots innovations and inclusive innovations) according to criteria that have to do with their local base, their objectives and the values related to these objectives. For middle and low-income countries, grass-roots innovations and inclusive innovations could favor further improving the welfare of their populations.
