This article examines the ethical challenges posed by NBIC emerging and converging technologies (na-notechnology, biotechnology, artificial intelligence and information technologies, and cognitive sciences) from the perspective of personalist bioethics. Their biomedical and social applications are described, high-lighting the main values at stake: dignity, life, autonomy, vulnerability, and justice. Finally, guidelines are proposed, inspired by the principles of personalist bioethics: defense of human life, therapeutic totality, responsible freedom, and justice, to ensure that technological development remains at the service of the person and the common good.
