About this Product

Philosophy of Biotechnological Sciences, Transhumanism, and Transhuman Post Humanism: Evolution or Dehumanization, (A critique of the Peer Review Academy process) 2nd Edition, written by Eduardo Delatorre Q, offers a rigorous philosophical and ethical exploration of transhumanism and posthumanism in the realm of biotechnological advancements. This book examines the deep questions surrounding the human pursuit of enhancement through technology, weighing whether such advancements represent genuine progress or if they risk eroding essential aspects of human identity and dignity.


Delatorre challenges the idealized promises of transhumanism by critically examining how subjective desires and financial exclusivity influence its goals. He raises fundamental questions about whether biotechnological improvements will genuinely be accessible to all or whether they will economically marginalize the majority, creating a new dimension of inequality. His analysis also introduces ―Transhumanist Posthumanism,‖ a vision of an advanced state of human existence beyond mortality, reminiscent of Nietzsches ـbermensch, while questioning whether such a vision is achievable or simply a utopian aspiration.

Furthermore, the book critiques the academic peer review process, which Delatorre argues can stifle innovation and limit open discourse, especially in complex interdisciplinary topics like transhumanism. He urges readers to reconsider both the ethical responsibilities and societal impacts of merging human biology with technology, emphasizing the importance of maintaining equity and moral accountability in the face of rapid technological change.
