[Transhumanism and law: from human nature to self-determination as the foundation of human rights]. / Transhumanismo y derecho: de la naturaleza humana a la autodeterminación como fundamento de los derechos humanos.

This article analyzes the general evolution of human rights due to the influence of transhumanist ideas, which were already present in 1948. Specifically, we will consider their denial of human nature, and self-determination as the new cornerstone of the legal order. We will see how nature is no longer considered the foundation of law, and instead how the focus is now on self-determination and the possibilities of technology. Although the 1948 Declaration of Rights has not changed, the anthropological conception has been modified, and new rights have been introduced, thanks to the interpretation made by the courts. The proposal is to recover the notion of human nature and natural law, which offers a universal terrain for dialogue and inspiring keys to find the true rights of the person and the good of society.

Transhumanismo y derecho: de la naturaleza humana a la autodeterminación como fundamento de los derechos humanos / Transhumanism and law: from human nature to self-determination as the foundation of human rights

En el presente artículo se analiza el impacto del transhumanismo en la evolución general de los de-rechos humanos. Concretamente, nos fijaremos en su negación de la naturaleza humana y en la autode-terminación como nueva piedra angular del orden jurídico. Veremos cómo la naturaleza ha dejado de serconsiderada fuente del derecho, y en cambio se pone el foco en la voluntad individual y en las posibilidadesde la tecnología. Aunque la Declaración del 48 no ha cambiado, gracias a la interpretación realizada porlos tribunales se ha ido modificando la concepción antropológica subyacente, y se han ido introduciendonuevos derechos. La propuesta es recuperar la noción de naturaleza humana y de ley natural, que ofreceun terreno universal para el diálogo y claves inspiradoras para definir los derechos de la persona y el biende la sociedad.(AU)
