Resumo: |
This doctoral thesis consists of an analysis of controversies about human gene editing, trying to reveal different conceptions of human constructed today. Contemporary scientific development has enabled unprecedented interventions on biological phenomena, while raising new technical, ethical and social challenges. Reflecting on these challenges, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk problematizes the effects of science and technology on society, facing the crisis of traditional humanist thinking. According to the author, humanism consisted of the main instrument of human formation, elaborated by Western culture. However, such an instrument would know its exhaustion today, leading Sloterdijk to question the role of biotechnology in the production of people. Grounded on the discussion established by the philosopher, this thesis analyzes controversies about human gene editing, having documents of public domain as its empirical material . The documents were selected from databases from January, 2015 to December, 2016. They consist of scientific papers published by the journals Nature, Science, Protein & Cell and The American Journal of Bioethics, as well as statements issued by the institutions UNESCO and Hinxton Group. The theorical approach of this research leans on analysis of discursive practices and the production of meanings, elaborated by the Center for Studies and Research on Discursive Practices in Daily Life (NUPRAD) of PUC-SP. It is intended to evidence the argumentative strategies present in the opposing and favorable discourses to gene editing, elucidating the effects of this practice for the understanding of what it is to be human today |
