ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE OF ADOPTION IN ECUADOR: HUMAN INSTITUTIONS

Abstract:

The general objective of the research is to analyze the ethics of adoption in Ecuador as human institutions. It has a qualitative design with a descriptive scope, the research is documentary, based on the analytical method. Institutions with a diverse content (economic, social, legal, political, cultural), such as adoption, must be structured through ethical components, since they are classified as ideals of what is correct; in this sense, the superior values of the human being would be reflected in sensitive figures of great importance. It is concluded that in the Ecuadorian legal system there is, in effect, an ethical contradiction between the provisions of the Code for Children and Adolescents and those of the Civil Code, regarding adoption. In addition, it is recommended to teach students to identify those contradictory ethical guidelines, since it is the alma mater that offers a multiplicity of universal currents of ethical and human theories and criteria.
