What can humanity as a society and a species expect from biotechnology? Francis Fukuyama tries to answer this question in his book “Our Posthuman Future.” From the author’s point of view, biotechnology potentially carries a whole bunch of serious threats, but invisible, latent threats that are not able to immediately attract attention at the political level. The invention of nuclear weapons was immediately recognized as an extremely dangerous creation of human hands and therefore came under very strict national and international control. The same thing happened with biological weapons. But modern biotechnology can and is used not only to create deadly viruses and bacteria. They, the author argues, are capable of changing people's lifestyles to such an extent that human nature itself is transformed, and a posthuman can be created. Fukuyama considers this problem at three levels. First, it examines the impact that biotechnology has and may have in the future on our lives. Secondly, the degree of danger of biotechnology for human nature is described as the most complex and important issue. And thirdly, by analyzing the activities of institutions that already exist in the field of political regulation of biotechnology, the author tries to understand how these institutions meet the requirements of tomorrow
