Abstract

It was carried out an analysis of the themes adolescence and moral values from an etymological point of view, and them it was contextualized in Cuba. For that, a chronological review was made since 25 years ago to current days. We treated the origin of bioethics in Cuba as a condition for values comprehension, from the axiological point of view, aimed on the adolescence as a subject’s life stage. There it were reviewed the outcomes of scientific works of both, the social sciences and the medical sciences, including the influence of sciences development on the in force medical paradigm, and its particularities in teenagers care in our settings. The strength of several values prevailing today was showed, and also the conditions for the increment of others barely seen in our days.
