The Bioethics is in permanent expansion as regards the new moral and legal issues, but it is still incipient in his legal philosophical reasoning. The concept of bioethics presents itself as a new ethics for a new man, where the notions of classical ethics do not seem to justify the requirements of the new issues raised by bioethics. This work deals with the issue of new technologies and their ethical and legal limits. For both, it evaluates the contributions of two of the most important contemporary philosophers about the theme, Habermas and Dworkin, and a possible dialog of these last two with him that was one of the founders of classical ethics, Aristotle.
