The president’s brother, Juan Fernando Petro, pointed out a few weeks ago that they use his name for this purpose, but that he has never met any extraditables.
From time to time, the CMC became the target of criticism from those who “misinterpreted” the publication and thought it was an official position of the organization; when, the reality is that, as in the other texts written by third parties that they share on their news portal (Epicrisis), at the end of the article, the following clarification was read: “The opinion and personal concepts expressed in articles signed by a third party do not reflect the position of Epicrisis or the Colombian Medical Association”.
epicrisis is the official communication organ of the CMC, a digital blog in which they share not only their positions, but also news related to scientific advances and discoveries in the field of medicine and bioethical debatesthat disseminate knowledge and generate discussions among its members.

what, according to Samuel Barbosasecretary and project coordinator of the Colombian Medical Association, “That does not mean that presenting these discussions and what is happening globally makes it a position of CMC, in fact, we we are not in favor of surrogate wombs in women with brain death.

For the best or for the worst the article ended up being deleted from the “Bioethics” section of the portal; since, ultimately, there was no discussion Regarding its content, the discussion was diverted and fell on the CMC: “We understand that it has been misinterpreted. But we have received an expression of digital violence from netizens and many others. So we tried to call for non-violence, understanding that there was a very negative reaction.”
The organization had to publicly apologize, despite the fact that the “misunderstanding” was with those who did not read the text in its entirety. However, They admit that they weren’t quite clear when they shared the article online, along with a description that most netizens ended up with: “We know that ‘brain-dead’ women can have full-term pregnancies; Why not initiate pregnancies to help childless couples?
“Why apologize if no mistake was made? because We understood there was a perception of offense from the CMC to women. And we didn’t want to disrespect them at any time”, so, in short, “we wanted to recognize that there was a risk by exposing news that was not well understood, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, it was a call for non-violence. We apologize for the misinterpretation they gave,” Samuel explained.

“Epicrisis will continue to post news of the debate International and knowledge of global medical science so that people can consult, analyze, understand and learn more about what is happening with medical advances and the discussions that are presented about these advances,” they ratified.
