Ethical values and principles are singular and immutable, but this is not true of their interpretation and application. In Mexico, even though these values and principles are respected in medical practice, the teaching of bioethics is non-existent and in most of the schools for health professionals the subject is not included in the curriculum. Nevertheless, Mexican society has made notable progress in the legislation and regulation of ethical aspects of such activities as research on human subjects, fertility regulation, the right to death with dignity, organ transplants, and AIDS.
伦理价值观和原则是单一且不变的，但它们的解释和应用并非如此。在墨西哥，尽管这些价值观和原则在医疗实践中受到尊重，但生物伦理学教学却不存在，而且在大多数卫生专业学校的课程中都没有这门学科。然而，墨西哥社会在人类受试者研究、生育调节、尊严死权利、器官移植和艾滋病等活动的伦理方面的立法和监管方面取得了显著进展。
