This paper studies the relationship between the positive sciences, in particular the biomedical sciences, and bioethical discourse. Mainly addresses the question of whether bioethics requires adequate biomedical data for their development as science and that importance have such data in bioethical discourse. It also discusses the criteria that should govern relations between bioethics and biomedical fields. Before this is done a brief study of scientific rationality and the degree of truth that can achieve the empirical sciences coming to the conclusion that to determine it is necessary starting from a theory of knowledge. From what we have called epistemological realism we have valued the type of rationality that has biomedical sciences. Then from this rationality we have proposed the relationship must exist between the scientific evidence and development of bioethics. We conclude that bioethics needs the biomedical sciences to develop properly as a science but at the same time this does not mean that bioethics is reduced to biomedical science or derived from it. In development of bioethics is necessary the data biomedical but not sufficient, it is condition for the solution of problem or conflict studied but requires that this data is integrated into an eminently ethical reasoning.
本文研究实证科学，尤其是生物医学科学与生物伦理话语之间的关系。主要探讨生物伦理学作为一门科学发展是否需要充足的生物医学数据，以及这些数据在生物伦理话语中的重要性。还讨论了应规范生物伦理学与生物医学领域之间关系的标准。在此之前，先简要研究科学合理性以及实证科学能够达到的真理程度，得出结论认为有必要从一种知识理论出发来确定这一点。基于我们所谓的认识论实在论，我们评估了生物医学科学所具有的合理性类型。然后基于这种合理性，我们提出科学证据与生物伦理学发展之间必须存在联系。我们得出结论，生物伦理学需要生物医学科学来作为一门科学得到恰当发展，但这同时并不意味着生物伦理学就简化为生物医学科学或由其派生而来。在生物伦理学的发展中，生物医学数据是必要的，但并不充分，它是解决所研究问题或冲突的条件，但要求这些数据被整合到一种明显的伦理推理之中。
