    Journal international de bioethique et d'ethique des sciences·2026

    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Future Studies
    • Human Evolution

    Background:

    • Humanity faces numerous existential risks, including climate change, advanced weaponry, and terrorism.
    • Transhumanism and posthumanism represent significant, under-discussed threats to the human species.
    • Gene editing technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, are central to these emerging concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the potential dangers posed by transhumanism and posthumanism.
    • To critically examine the implications of gene editing technologies (CRISPR/Cas9) within the context of human evolution and survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and critical analysis of transhumanism and posthumanism concepts.
    • Examination of scientific literature on gene editing technologies, focusing on CRISPR/Cas9.

  • Ethical and philosophical inquiry into the long-term consequences of human enhancement.

    • Main Results:

    • Transhumanism, through technologies like CRISPR/Cas9, presents novel risks by altering the human genome.
    • The pursuit of posthumanism could lead to unforeseen evolutionary trajectories and societal disruptions.
    • Gene editing raises profound ethical questions regarding human identity and species integrity.

    Conclusions:

    • The unchecked advancement of gene editing and transhumanist ideologies poses a significant threat to human existence.
    • Careful ethical consideration and regulatory frameworks are crucial to navigate the challenges presented by CRISPR/Cas9 and posthumanism.
    • Further research is needed to understand and mitigate the long-term risks associated with human genetic modification.
