DESCRIPTION

The dynamic development in modern bio-sciences regarding genetic modifications, human enhancement, and systematic creation of new forms of life brought various changes and far-reaching transformations of boundaries in current bio-discourse. The most distinctive phenomena of these challenges are vivid in the transgression of contemporary identification criteria, assessment standards and long-lasting interpretation frameworks. This multipurpose convergence analytically and potentially systematically exceeds the classical limits of different scientific fields and approaches. Therefore, we believe that these new challenges and discursive reconstructions require the close attention of multidisciplinary array of contemporary humanities.

MAIN OBJECTIVES

The main goal of the project is to

consistently react to the current transformative and potentially disruptive research and:

  • Analyze the shift in boundaries from three different perspectives: ontological, epistemological, and ethical.
  • Identify new criteria for relevant evaluation of contemporary bioethical data.
  • Examine conditions of (temporary) coexistence of old and newly-established evaluation criteria for modern bio-discourse.
