ARTICLES

Transhumanism and global governance of human genome editing. Common themes and Implications for bioethics
Author: Lílian Santos
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n4.05

The status of the human embryo: an interdisciplinary (bioethical) analysis of reality

This article explores the implications for bioethics of  the  common themes between transhumanism and the global governance of human genome editing (HGE). First,  the reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) method was applied to a set of texts on transhumanism and a set of texts on the global governance of HGE. As a result of this application of RTA, three common themes emerged and their elements. After that, an  example  of  implication  for  bioethics  of  each  one  of  the  common  themes was developed. Each implication considers the current situation and a task for bioethics. Finally it is concluded that recognising the situation arising from the common themes and working on the three identified tasks is crucial for contemporary bioethics.

The strange journey of thinking about killing yourself
Author: Jorge Alberto Álvarez Díaz 
DOI: https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n4.07

The title of this review could recall the strange journey of the 1964 film with the same title, directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez, which narrates the “Crime of Mazarrón”, which should have been the title, but did not resist the censorship of Francoist Spain. of the time. Likewise, it could also recall the strange journey of Fangoria’s self-titled album released in 2006, a dozen pop songs with rock, glam and electronica influences with diverse themes. It is not the case. Strange journeys are frequent when addressing various topics of human life, since strange derives from the Latin extraneare, which is based on extraneous (from outside, alien). At first, this word referred to the perception of something strange, usually with surprise, admiration or strangeness.
