Resumo: The non-therapeutic uses of biotechnology has been the mainstay or the bioethics debate today. Epistemically demanding, the theme demands diverse and specialized knowledge, being irreducible to the pro versus cons polarization. However, it is not uncommon to see the opinionated participation of non-specialist individuals, whose purpose apparently is simply to assume one side of the dilemma (for or against). In the absence of knowledge, such opinions are often based on ideological positions and fictional works. Thus, in a mixture of epistemic ignorance and ideology, the debate is contaminated by problematic biases. Taking advantage of a mentioned trend, I create a fictional essay, using stereotyped characters that represent some of the problematic positions taken in the debate. Finally, I offer a list of rules that can help guide the debate on the issue.

Epistémicamente complejo, el tema exige conocimientos diversos y especializados, y es irreductible a la polarización pro versus contra. Sin embargo, no es raro ver la participación infundada de personas no expertas, cuyo propósito aparentemente es simplemente asumir un lado del dilema (a favor o en contra). En ausencia de conocimiento, tales opiniones a menudo se basan en posiciones ideológicas y obras de ficción. Así, en una mezcla de ignorância epistémica, ideologia y apelación a las ficciones, el debate se queda contaminado por sesgos problemáticos. Aprovechando una tendencia citada, creo un ensayo de ficción, usando personajes estereotipados que representan algunas de las posiciones tomadas en el debate. Finalmente, ofrezco una lista de reglas que pueden ayudar a guiar el debate sobre el tema.Os usos não terapêuticos da biotecnologia têm protagonizado o debate bioético na atualidade. Epistemicamente exigente, o tema demanda conhecimentos diversos e especializados, sendo irredutível à polarização pró versus contra. Quem, não é raro, vê-se a quem, por si só, pode ser um dilema (pró ou contra). Na falta de conhecimentos, opiniões apreciáveis ​​​​de obras ideias. Assim, num misto de ignorância epistêmica, ideologia e apelo a ficções, o debate vai ser contaminado por vies problemáticos. Aproveitando uma tendência citada, crio um ensaio ficcional, usando estereotipados que representam algumas situações problemáticas assumidas sem debate.
