FAMILY AND TECHNO-SCIENCE: WHAT THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE WILL BRING?
Abstract
In this contribution we address the issue of family and technoscience. We define techno-science as knowledge applied to all areas of reality. We approach on the topic of the nuclear family and the couple and then we expose our previous contributions on family and human biotechnology and we update and expand our knowledge on it. We focus on the impact that the Covid-19 syndemic is having on family life and then we explain the impact that the latest advances in Genetic Engineering, especially Gene Editing (CRISPR) are taking into account. We expose the disputes that are generating both the cloning and the recent modification of embryos and we finally highlight the need to continue researching to achieve a harmonious and favourable relationship with techno-science.
