“FOR A DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ARTIFICIAL BEINGS?”. HUMAN RIGHTS, LEGAL ANTHROPOLOGY, UTOPIAS AND TRANSHUMANISM

Abstract

Jurists must observe the evolution of the world, then reason by adapting. They consider the necessary amendments to the law. Faced with the challenges of transhumanism, which is accompanied by an ideology that pushes to redefine the human, jurists mobilize the knowledge provided by legal anthropology, the history of law, but also that of utopias, to see it more clearly. To break out of the institutional shackles, but also to rethink the very notion of natural law. So, perhaps it is possible to consider the drafting of a new declaration of fundamental rights, not to give in to the sirens of transhumanism, but on the contrary, to respond to it, as experienced jurists.
