Desvelando el derecho a la autotransformación y la mejora de uno mismo: explorando el transhumanismo y su impacto en los derechos humanos y el futuro de la humanidad

Palabras clave: tecnologías avanzadas, transhumanismo, mejora humana, autotransformación, derechos humanos, humanidad

Resumen

El momento para debatir, contemplar y filosofar sobre el transhumanismo inevitablemente ha llegado. Y ello gracias a la tecnología, que sigue transformando de forma importante la vida humana. El transhumanismo como filosofía pretende explorar hasta dónde puede llegar la tecnología y hasta dónde puede llevar a las personas humanas. La importancia de estudiar el transhumanismo no radica en las creencias personales, sino en la necesidad de afrontar las profundas cuestiones que rodean la influencia de la tecnología en la vida humana. Comprender el transhumanismo se ha convertido en algo crucial en el mundo contemporáneo, porque ya se están produciendo transformaciones radicales a través de la tecnología. En consecuencia, contemplar el transhumanismo suscita un pensamiento crítico sobre la trayectoria de la humanidad ante el avance de la tecnología. Esta exploración plantea cuestiones fundamentales sobre la protección de los derechos humanos en una era en la que los individuos están dispuestos a someterse a transformaciones radicales. Una pregunta intrigante emerge en torno a la recepción del transhumanismo: ¿podría o debería considerarse un derecho al que pueden acogerse los individuos?
