Abstract
The text reports on the scientific seminar The Politics of Human Enhancement, held in Warsaw on 19 May 2023. It describes the course of the meeting and synthesises the principal substantive issues raised in the presentations and discussion. The seminar was conceived as the first event in a planned series devoted to related political, philosophical and bioethical questions.
Author's summary
The report documents an attempt to place human enhancement within political rather than exclusively bioethical analysis. The seminar brought together different perspectives on the changing relationship between technological possibilities, concepts of the human person, public authority and the limits of legitimate intervention.
Keywords
