Abstract
European bioethical principles—autonomy, dignity, integrity, and vulnerability—offer a distinctframework rooted in continental philosophy and care ethics. Introduced in the Barcelona Declaration, these principles contrast with the American principlism of Beauchamp and Childress,which emphasizes practical decision-making based on common morality. The text explores theorigins, theoretical foundations, and applications of both systems, highlighting their differingunderstandings of ethical principles and their roles in public policy and professional practice.Special attention is given to the European model’s potential for deeper ethical reflection. A casestudy from social work illustrates how both frameworks can be applied in practice, showing howEuropean principles can enrich ethical sensitivity, dialogue, and care in helping professions.
