Descripción
Sumario:The author begins by summarily characterizing human rights today, highlighting the controversies that have arisen around its rationality and utility, in a complex context that points to other values and to a new conception of humanism.In the second part, the article explores some reflections on the place of human rights in transhumanism, understood as a new stage of humanity, with people highly identified with the technologies, lifestyles and visions of the world, that put transhuman as a biotechnological horizonThe author places particular emphasis on the contradictions to which rights are subject, compressed between the progressive ambitions of the defenders of transhumanism and the conservative criticism of their opponents, while highlighting the theoretical potentialities for the renewal of rights in this new context.
