ETHICAL AND LEGAL REFLECTIONS ON TRANSHUMANISM IN A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The quest for sustainable development intervenes with regard to the essential elements of the natural environment of man and his intrinsic constitution. It is apprehended as a major element of humanity in its dignity, its singularity, its uniqueness, its universality, which require respect. Prospective ethical reflections on current practices aim to highlight the different practices of transhumanism likely to be detrimental to sustainable development, which leads to other ethical reflections on the legal need to regulate transhumanist activities to respond for the purpose of sustainable development.
