Czy eugenika felicytologiczna jest w ogóle możliwa?
Journal Title: Amor Fati - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This article tries to answer the question: is felicitous eugenics and creating people by genes manipulation a dan-gerous thing? It is a utopia or it is a new hope? Habermas and Fukuyama are convinced that it leads us to immoral changes in the human nature. But this might be pouring the baby out with the bathwater. In fact medicine for a long time was changing our boundaries of life, death and that of what is normal or not. To respectively reflect on this issue, there is a need for appropriate criteria. This is the role of two terms: the glam thinking and the effective thinking. The first is always focused on a good impression. The second considers the actual effects on the human nature, but not in the utilitarian way. It takes into account the consequences and responsibility for any attempts to interfere in the human being. The author gives examples of these two types of thinking and leads them to conse-quences for human nature. And if we want to talk about responsible eugenics, it is the only way to do that.
