商品描述
This book focuses on the implications of the common themes and works on three urgent tasks for bioethicists. Are there common themes between transhumanism and the WHO framework for global governance of human genome editing? If yes, what are the implications of that? To find possible common themes, the author applied the reflective thematic analysis (RTA) method to a set of texts on transhumanism and a set of texts on the global governance of human genome editing. The transhumanist texts were the three documents Humanity+, the former World Transhumanist Association, calls the "original documents on transhumanism" (the Transhumanist Declaration, Transhumanist FAQ 3.0, the Transhumanist Manifesto v.4). The selected texts to represent the current global governance of human genome editing were the three documents published by WHO on the topic in 2021 (human genome editing: a framework for governance, human genome editing: recommendations, human genome editing: position paper): the only plan for the global governance of HGE to date. As a result of his application of the RTA method, he found three common themes.
What does this mean for our society? What are the implications of the current situation? What are the tasks for bioethics? There are emerging questions on the human condition and new concerns to be addressed, such as the do-it-yourself mentality. The limits of "therapy vs. enhancement" ask for serious work on a bioethical framework for enhancement. Finally, the authors question the predominant values and propose a refinement to some conceptions of autonomy, protection, and equality. Recognising the current situation and working on the identified tasks has become crucial for contemporary Bioethics.

本書聚焦於共同主題的意涵，以及生物倫理學家面臨的三項緊迫任務。超人類主義與世界衛生組織（WHO）全球人類基因編輯治理框架之間是否存在共同主題？如果有，這意味著什麼？為了尋找可能的共同主題，作者運用了反思性主題分析（RTA）方法，分析了一組有關超人類主義的文本和一組有關人類基因編輯全球治理的文本。超人類主義的文本包括三份文件，這些文件由人類+（Humanity+），前世界超人類主義協會稱為「超人類主義的原始文件」（超人類主義宣言、超人類主義常見問題解答3.0、超人類主義宣言v.4）。代表當前人類基因編輯全球治理的文本則是WHO在2021年發表的三份文件（人類基因編輯：治理框架、人類基因編輯：建議、人類基因編輯：立場文件）：迄今為止唯一的HGE全球治理計畫。通過應用RTA方法，作者發現了三個共同主題。
這對我們的社會意味著什麼？當前情況的意涵是什麼？生物倫理學的任務是什麼？出現了有關人類狀況的新問題和新關注，例如自我動手做的心態。「治療與增強」的界限要求對增強的生物倫理框架進行深入研究。最後，作者質疑主導價值觀，並對某些自主權、保護和平等的概念提出改進建議。認識當前情況並著手解決已識別的任務，對當代生物倫理學而言已變得至關重要。
