The indicators that have been taken into account can be simple (for example, an absolute figure such as the death rate) or composite, that is, constructed on the basis of several simple indicators. Those with a general descriptive value to the detriment of particularities have been selected. Subsequently they have been grouped according to the distinction we establish between bioethics, biomoral and biopolitics.
