Sentido y responsabilidad: Una perspectiva bioética sobre la creación, mutación e hibridación experimental en el campo interdisciplinar de la tecnociencia y el arte

| Summary: | [eng] Only humans have created a technoscience able to delete our own kind, and all others, from the face of the earth and if, as affirm the philosopher Hans Jonas, the responsibility is a correlate of the power, the magnitude of power must determine the magnitude of the responsibility. In the last decade, many artists have begun to work in the border areas of science and technology considering the need for a critical analysis in this field developed from extra-medical or extra-industrials criteria. This article examines the works of artists, made under bioart parameters, that impact particularly in the ethical sense of human behaviour toward animals and living things in general. Most projects have been developed in scientific laboratories and have to do with the creation (generation of life), genetic mutation and hybridization, and the symbiotic relationships between animals and humans. Through them, the artists demonstrate their sense of responsibility and their ability to assume the consequences of their creations with the aim to open new ethical debates about science. |
