----------
In the contemporary debate, many authors seek to show that the bioethics requires a special sensibility to the theoretical and social progresses of the modern world. If the bioethics doesn't assume the achievements of the "progress" but rather it relapses in outdated justifications it will be not well formulated. The paper deals with what modernity consists and to show, before its crisis, the opportunity to thinking Bioethics from parameters that they are able to offer a real alternative regarding the foundation and the perspectives for this discipline. The author thinks that three aspects are crucial to clarify: 1. the nature of the consent; 2. the possibility of an objective morals; 3. the person-centred foundation of the moral life. Moreover, if bioethics is assumed as rigorous and normative practical science, it doesn't require differentiating adjectives but five features of explicit person-centred look: 1. bioethics should build its normativeness starting from the imperative to recognizing the person like a reality per se; 2. bioethics must distinguish with clarity the difference between things and persons; 3. bioethics distinguishes the irreducibility of the human life to other forms of life and to complex material systems; 4. bioethics should recognize the human being like in-communion subject; 5. bioethics implies an existential and practical commitment in favour of all the persons, especially of the weakest ones.
