The purpose of this article is to think bioethics in the social variations of surveillance in condominiums. The surveillance is ambivalent in its concept and in its practices, and serves both to protect and to dominate. This is a concept study of literature which, at first, describes the change from a way of caring into a dominance relationship, followed by some experiences of variations in sociocultural surveillance. A third step deals with the rules of surveillance which ensure cohesion in the condominiums. And, finally, a bioethics reading of the processes of watching. Bioethics questions the current model of surveillance that attempts to protect the safety of a group, within a society composed of violence, but that does not serve the community as a whole. As a matter of fact, such a model proves insufficient to ensure effective security. Therefore, the study proposes to seek a safe and secure environment in which security and freedom are in balance.
