Ethical and Christian view on Human Nature in Bioethics of Transhumanism

Abstract

The article is focused on human nature from view of ethical and Christian consequences resulting from bioethical research in the field of transhumanism. The aim is to examine impact of these researches on human nature within Christian dogmatics which may be threatened by transhumanism. Knowledge, which such researches bring to us, is unambiguously enriching and contributive. However, the value of knowledge should not be a justification of devaluation of religious and ethical values. After all, the getting to know is only one of many ways of man development.
