Multiculturalism and religious diversity, which in recent decades seem to have made their way into our societies, require an approach in which the different positions at stake are identified. Next, an attempt will be made to justify how cultural and religious peculiarities have more aspects in common than differences; a palpable affirmation in fields such as biotechnology and bioethics, facing the challenges of these techniques at the beginning of life. Highlighting the vision that the different world religions have of these techniques, taking into account that they do so from a westernized conception. Guaranteeing respect for human dignity, regardless of its social context and the territory in which it resides will be the objective of the Universal Declarations, as well as the implementation of distributive social justice, a principle that is unfulfilled when it is observed that the new treatments are applied in countries with a higher economic level and that research has been sponsored by pharmaceutical corporations that involve people from developing countries as the object of such research.
