Transhumanism: pushing the limits of being human

Transhumanismo is an intellectual movement that envisions improving the human condition through advanced technologies. In Spanish, this debate draws on a rich and specialized vocabulary.

Schools of thought

  • Transhumanismo aims to augment human capabilities through technology while preserving our biological nature
  • Posthumanismo goes further by questioning the very notion of humanity and envisions a total fusion with machines
  • Singularidad refers to the hypothetical moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence

Technologies and sciences

  • Biotecnología and nanotecnología are the technological pillars of transhumanism
  • The human genoma is at the heart of debates on genetic modification and species enhancement
  • Cibernética studies communication systems between humans and machines
  • Advanced prótesis blur the line between repair and augmentation

Ethical challenges

  • Bioética raises fundamental questions about the limits of technological intervention on living beings
  • Consciencia and its relationship with artificial intelligence remain at the heart of the philosophical debate
  • The quest for inmortalidad raises questions about social equity and access to technologies
  • Neurociencia fuels both hopes and fears related to cognitive enhancement

Uitdrukkingen

  • Plantea dilemas éticos profundosIt raises deep ethical dilemmas
  • ¿Dónde trazamos la línea?Where do we draw the line?
  • La tecnología avanza más que la éticaTechnology advances faster than ethics

  • Es una cuestión de dignidad humanaIt is a matter of human dignity
  • Abre la puerta a desigualdadesIt opens the door to inequalities

Veelgemaakte fouten

  • La inteligencia artificial es consciente
    La inteligencia artificial es autoconsciente

    In Spanish, "consciente" simply means "awake/aware." For self-awareness, use "autoconsciente"

  • Las tecnologías del genoma
    Las tecnologías genómicas

    The adjective "genómico/a" is preferred over "del genoma" in scientific register

  • Hacer una prótesis
    Colocar / implantar una prótesis

    You don't "make" a prosthesis for a patient — you "place" or "implant" it

  • La ética no permite que hagamos eso
    La ética no nos permite hacer eso

    With "permitir," the infinitive construction is more natural than the subjunctive here

  • Investigar sobre la consciencia
    Investigar la consciencia

    The verb "investigar" is transitive in Spanish — no preposition "sobre" is needed
