The vulnerability of the subject by technoscience: a bioethical approach from anthropology

Abstract

The dialogue between technology, the human body and bioethics is increasingly relevant in contemporary society, where the vulnerability of sportsmen to technoscience is a topic of growing interest in the social sciences, humanities and legal sciences. This essay examines, from anthropology, the impact of transhumanism on the body of “Homo sportivus”, which seeks to improve human capabilities by overcoming biological limits with technology. This is reflected in the constant search for athletic optimization through advanced technologies. It is vital to reflect on the bioethical limits of these modifications in the subject's body, considering dilemmas such as equity, integrity and dignity of the athlete. Although these advances offer opportunities, they also raise bioethical questions about autonomy and manipulation of human nature, making their transversal integration in academic and professional training crucial, promoting reflective debates to build more sustainable and humane societies.
