Human rights in the context of transhumanist medicine: ethical and legal aspects

Abstract

Aim: To analyze the concept of transhumanism as a new category that extends beyond traditional legal frameworks and its implications for human rights, personal freedom, and the boundaries of technological intervention in human biology. Materials and Methods: The study employs a comprehensive literature review and analysis of scholarly works on transhumanism, bioethics, and related legal and philosophical concepts. Conclusions: Transhumanism is a modern philosophical and scientific concept that proposes a radical rethinking of human nature through the use of advanced technologies aimed at overcoming human biological limitations. The development of transhumanist ideas creates new ethical, legal and social challenges, in particular regarding human rights, personal freedom, and the limits of technological intervention in the human body and consciousness.
