This essay describes why human dignity, as a principle, made possible, or at least created the conditions of possibility, for the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. At the same time, it was interesting to discuss how this principle was of utmost importance for the achievements and developments of bioethics in Latin America, since progress had already been made in the recognition, promotion and respect for human rights. Furthermore, an approach was made to the circumstances and reasons that configured the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, as a milestone in bioethical research of fundamental character for Latin America. The reflections made by the authors lead to the conclusion that there is a clear need to continue the development of the bioethical discourse in the region. Definitely, the next step should be to generate an Inter-American Convention to create a regional system and structure, from which bioethics can be promoted according to the particular needs and interests of the subcontinent.
