Du vieil Homme au nouveau : trans-humanisme ? Défis pour penser l'Homme de demain

What's about the “new man”, a man who will not be suffering and enduring pain, a man who will live forever, and a man who will be his own creator? Since the beginning of the world, man searches the grail, the fountain of youth, which constitutes the base of myths. Since 1980s, searchers in many fields as nanotechnology, biotechnology, sciences in numerical knowledge and science in cognition, called as NBIC convergence, have worked together to go always further. Convergence of these searchers makes possible the creation of a new man. Enhancement of the man asks humanity many ethical questions. The purpose of this article is to present ethical considerations induced by these different new prospects.
