In order to better understand the consequences of such developments, this book analyzes the use of\u00a0<em>new biotechnologies<\/em>\u00a0(<em>Human enchancement technologies<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; HET) aimed at \u201cenchancing\u201d healthy people.<br \/>\nThe first part of the book analyzes the\u00a0<em>pro et contra<\/em>\u00a0argumentation of three theoretical currents: the\u00a0<em>tranhumanist<\/em>, whose representatives openly advocate genetic, prosthetic and cognitive enchancement of the human species \u2013 the transition of the human into the posthuman society; the\u00a0<em>bioconservative<\/em>, whose representatives see a threat in undermining human dignity, meddling into \u201cDivine affairs\u201d and in changing the nature of the human being; the representatives of\u00a0<em>the middle current<\/em>\u00a0hold that the danger lies in the dialectics of the relation between \u201ccapitalism and medicine\u201d. The authors of the middle current view the approachability and use of biotechnology as a resource for the betterment of social positions.<br \/>\nThrough the analysis of arguments and positions within the aforementioned currents, the book faces the incoming need for researchers to also focus on researching the instruments of moral enhancement. Thus, for example, the critical analysis of the stances of Nicholas Agar reveals the importance of disgust towards certain actions in the prevention and protection of human life, which is why we reject Agar\u2019s equalization of ability to feel disgust and moral responsibility. The demythologization of the so-called moral disgust is gaining particular importance nowadays in the debates on moral enhancement and the instruments that could prevent massive destruction of the human species. Apart from that, the analysis of Savulescu\u2019s stances heralds his personal moral transition from the moral duty to enhance posterity with the help of genetic engineering to the duty to morally enhance people who might abuse new technologies.<br \/>\nThe second part analyzes enhancement technologies that arise from several scientific fields and that are used both on the inside and on the outside of the human body. This analysis creates the possibility of moving along the scientific-theoretical axis, while also giving insight into the ethics of goals and possibilities within the technologies themselves.<br \/>\nThe improvement of the quality of life is almost unquestionably accepted as one of society\u2019s paramount values. Hence, the third part of the book had to analyze the socio-cultural consequences of such interventions.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nVeselin Mitrovi\u0107, PhD, works as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Sociological Studies of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. He is involved in a research project on the reproductive rights of women and deals with the issues of genetic engineering and in vitro fertilization. He has cooperated on the following research projects of the Faculty of Philosophy\u2019s Department of Sociology: Postmodernism and Contemporary Anthropology, Cultural Sociology, Sociology of Mass Culture, Traditional and the Modern in Culture. He has also cooperated on the course \u201cBioethics\u201d of the Department of Philosophy.<br \/>\nHis doctoral thesis \u201cThe Social Aspects of \u201cEnhancing\u201d Human Beings within the Rim of New Biotechnical Studies\u201d (2011) problematizes the social aspects of genetic interventions, as well as the possible consequences of scientifically based genetic interventions within developed societies. These problems introduce the issue of the non-ethical use of various enhancement technologies. Other than that that, the issues of the relation between ethics, technology and social values, authenticity and identity, as well as the dialectics of the relation between medicine and capitalism are also introduced. Apart from the book\u00a0<em>The Outstep of Bioethics<\/em>, Veselin Mitrovi\u0107 has also published several articles in scientific journals and has been involved in a number of domestic and international scientific gatherings dealing with relevant topics: the use of bio-medical interventions on healthy people with the goal of creating an enhanced species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation of the book by Veselin Mitrovi\u0107 10 April\u00a02013 Moderator: Vojin Raki\u0107 Participants: Marija Bogdanovi\u0107 Jovan Babi\u0107 Nada Sekuli\u0107 Veselin Mitrovi\u0107 Abstract The breakthrough development of biomedical science and technology since the middle of the 20th century has initiated new moral and social questions that arise from the means of using these advances on healthy&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events-2014","category-21","description-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 -
