Exploring the intersection of biotechnology and human destiny, this volume examines the ideas of Hans Jonas, a foundational figure in bioethics, and their relevance today, particularly through Jurgen Habermas's application. It highlights biotechnology's potential to enhance human freedom by transcending limitations, while also warning of the risks it poses to our moral responsibility. The text argues for a definition of freedom that emphasizes our capacity for benevolence and meaningful connections, positioning this as the essential criterion for assessing biotechnological advancements.
