Resumo: Objective: Pre-modern medicine emphasized harmony between the universe and nature and everything was believed to be possible to those physicians that were able to interpret signs and symptoms. As of the invention of the stethoscope, an investigative process was initiated which included observation of the inside of the living body. Throughout time, medicine has been impregnated by technology and, currently, the so-called techno-science is omni-present. The doctor-patient relationship shifts into second place or is totally absent. We must develop as intellectuals with a new perception capable of critically judging this new form of medical practice based principally on technology. This paper aims is to consider, in the light of clinical bioethics, a new way to practice medicine as an attempt to restore the more humane side of medical science. Methods: Information from the Medline and LILACS databases going back 10 years was consulted. Also, a review of literature available in Brazil was carried out in reference to the themes of medicine, bioethics, science and humanity. Results and conclusion: We conclude that the Medicine is not just a science, but also an art. In certain situations, it demands making value judgments. Clinical bioethics is becoming a guide that will help find the way to combine techno-scientific and biomedical knowledge with philosophical knowledge. Through clinical bioethics it is possible to bring more humane aspects to the art of medicine. KEY WORDS: BIOETHICS; ETHICS, CLINICAL; PHYSICIANPATIENT RELATIONS; MEDICINE/trends.

Objetivo: A medicina pré-moderna tinha por enfoque a harmonia entre o universo e a natureza e tudo era aparentemente possível para os médicos aptos a interpretarem sinais e sintomas. A partir da invenção do estetoscópio inicia-se o processo de investigação do interior dos corpos vivos. Ao longo do tempo, a medicina foi sendo impregnada com a tecnologia e, nos dias atuais, a chamada tecnociência se faz onipresente deixando em segundo plano, ou até mesmo ausente, a interação médico-paciente. Urge a criação de uma nova indústria intelectual com a capacidade de criticar essa nova forma de praticar a medicina embasada principalmente na tecnologia. O objetivo do presente artigo é fazer uma reflexão, por meio da bioética clínica, dessa nova forma de praticar a medicina na tentativa de resgatar o lado humano da ciência médica. Método: Foi realizada uma consulta na base de dados da Medline e LILACS nos últimos dez anos e uma revisão da literatura nacional em torno do tema medicina, bioética, ciência e humanidade. Resultados e conclusão: Nossa conclusão é de a medicina não ser apenas uma ciência, mas também uma arte. Ela exige, em situações particulares, elaborar julgamentos de valor. A Bioética Clínica, surge para guiar caminhos combinando o conhecimento técnico- científico das ciências biomédicas com o conhecimento filosófico. Por meio da Bioética Clínica é possível resgatar os aspectos humanos da arte da medicina. UNITERMOS: BIOÉTICA; ÉTICA CLÍNICA; RELAÇÕES MÉDICO-PACIENTE; MEDICINA/tendências.
