Abstract

GARCIA HERRERIA, Javier. Michael Sandel's ideas against transhumanist vision of the perfection of human beings. JONNPR [online]. 2020, vol.5, n.7, pp.674-682.  Epub July 05, 2021. ISSN 2529-850X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.3597.

The tempting promises of transhumanism seem to be getting closer and closer, but in some way counterproductive in some way. Professor Sandel presents the social problems that the development of improved human beings would entail in our understanding of merit, freedom and responsibility, the appreciation of life as a gift, the inclination to share our destiny with others and the conception of individual rights.

Keywords : transhumanism; Sandel; logic of the gift; justice; responsibility.
