Abstract
La neolengua propicia un cambio del sentido de las palabras y junto al doble pensamiento forma el cuadro del totalitarismo descrito por Orwell en 1984. El propósito de la neolengua es hacer imposible toda otra forma de pensamiento. En la bioética la neolengua se aplica, no porque sea una ciencia nueva sino por la intención manipuladora. El lenguaje político del siglo XX tiene, según Orwell, la intención de alejar la “imagen mental” de lo que realmente acontece. Esto es claro en los términos “maternidad subrogada”.
Por un lado se priva a la madre de su hijo. Por otro no hay subrogación en sentido jurídico. Como se ha dicho la técnica reduce a una mujer a la condición de un recipiente. La coartada del altruismo no modifica la relación explotadora, pues la gratuidad en la prestación de la mujer no es altruismo de todos los que intervienen en la subrogación.
The Newspeak propitiates a change of the sense of the words and next to the double thinking forms the picture of totalitarianism described by Orwell in 1984. The purpose of the Newspeak is to make all other forms of thought impossible. In bioethics the Newspeak is applied, not because Bioethics is a new science but by the manipulative intention. The twentieth-century political language has, according to Orwell, the intention to remove the «mental image» of what really happens. This is clear in the terms «surrogacy.» On the one hand, the mother is deprived of her child. On the other, there is no legal subrogation. As has been said the technique reduces a woman to the condition of a vessel. The excuse of gratuity does not change the exploitative relationship, since gratuitousness in the provision of women is not the altruism of all those involved in surrogacy.
