Synopsis

A new season in bioethical reflections in at hand. We are witnessing extraordinary developments in life sciences and in the new "coverging technologies" (genetics, information tecnology, nanotecnologies an neuroscieces), which open up unprecedented possibilities for interventions on living matter. The human body is exposed to practices that risk reducing it to the status of any neutral biological subject, as if it were an entity independent of the person rather than its basis in space an in history, This approach, veined with Gnostic contempt, risks obfuscating the symbolic scope of the body and its essential role in the advancement of a meaningful world.
