چکیده
. From a philosophical point of view, the peculiarities conceptual and categorical apparatus such phenomenon modern world as transhumanism are investigated. The needs thorough understanding, taking into account claims put forward within its limits. After all, at scientific level recognizes possibility improving human nature from view avoiding suffering, disease, death; expanding her physical, mental psychological capabilities. It is about using tools to create superhuman. What used belong realm fiction becoming real in today's world. However, since we talking endowment person with supernatural capabilities, despite dizzying opportunities that open up, it necessary take ethical aspect problem, moments responsibility scientists for their actions threats they may pose. research asks why, all dangers associated intervention largely unpredictable consequences interventions, people still do not give up on experiments improve nature?

Transhumanism and moral equality.
Conservative thinkers such as Francis Fukuyama have produced a battery of objections to the transhumanist project of fundamentally enhancing human capacities. This article examines one of these objections, namely that by allowing some to greatly extend their capacities, we will undermine the fundamental moral equality of human beings. I argue that this objection is groundless: once we understan...
متن کاملTeilhard de Chardin and Transhumanism
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was among the first to give serious consideration to the future of human evolution. His work advocates both biotechnologies (e.g., genetic engineering) and intelligence technologies. He discusses the emergence of a global computationcommunication system (and is said by some to have been the first to have envisioned the Internet). He advocates the development of a glob...
متن کاملTranshumanism, Progress and the Future
This paper argues that one can advocate a moral imperative to pursue enhancement technologies while at the same time rejecting the historical reality of progress and holding a pessimistic view of the future. The first half of the paper puts forth several arguments for why progress is illusory and why one has good reason to be pessimistic about the future of humanity (and posthumanity). The seco...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Fluorescence Microscopy: Basic Principles, Advantages and Risks
The application of two-photon excitation to fluorescence microscopy has become a powerful tool for studying biological function in live tissue and offers many advantages over conventional imaging techniques. Neuroscientists in particular have used this technology to image physiological functioning in microscopic and subcellular neural compartments. Neurons can be imaged deep within highly light...
متن کاملAdvantages and risks of multiphoton microscopy in physiology.
Multiphoton microscopy is based on the simultaneous absorption of two photons emitted by a pulsed infrared laser source. In this technique, the excitation is restricted to a very small focus and thus results in optical sectioning a priori without the need of a confocal aperture. Multiphoton microscopy was introduced in live cell imaging as an alternative to confocal microscopy due to its superi...
