ТЕХНОЛОГИЧНАТА ЕПОХА – КОНТРАПУНКТ НА ЧОВЕКА КАТО НЕ- ЧОВЕК
Globalism has changed the world beyond recognition by forcefully
establishing a new paradigm and definition of a human being. Digitization, which is
part of the globalization process, has also been called the "fourth industrial revolution".
It forms new social relations quite quickly, equipped with a new conceptual apparatus.
A consequence of this is that technology is globalizing all types of data, including
personal data, making it available to companies and turning it into a commodity. In the
last 20-30 years and in the last two years and the COVID-19 pandemic,
nanotechnologies have entered medicine that change the internal bio-environment of
the human organism. They are aimed at improving the health of the individual. But one
of the aspects of their application is gene editing, which in relation to the protection of
human rights, turns out to be a shady practice. This applies to all living organisms on
the planet, not only to humans, and the consequences drastically affect the foundation
of existence itself. The analysis in the article is also focused on the so-called "fifth
freedom" in the European Union or free movement of data as part of AI regulation. It
raises the question of whether the concept of human needs to be redefined and whether
the term "non-human" can be used when tampering with sensitive DNA-related data,
modifying it and using it as a commodity.
