Christian anthropology and the challenge of changing the human condition as implied by the challenge of procreation. Monsignor Juan Antonio Martínez Camino. Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Madrid. Professor of Dogmatic Theology. XLVII Conversations of Saint Stephen. The end of homo sapiens? Science, technology and their impact on the human being. We find ourselves at the beginning of one of the great epochal changes in the history of humanity. New technologies (information, nanotechnologies, biomedical technology...) are changing our way of life, our relationships, the configuration of our society, our understanding of ourselves... There is talk of the end of homo sapiens and the appearance of the cyborg and the inforg, a human being who exchanges information with the biosphere but also with virtual realities. This panorama of our present raises questions. Is it true that technology will be able to alter human nature? Or will we continue to be human, too human? And how can the Christian faith integrate all these changes into its experience of faith? February 19, 2019. Salamanca. www.dominicos.org
