Philosophy of the Biotechnological Sciences, Transhumanism and Transhuman Post Humanism: Evolution or Dehumanization? (3rd Edition) by Ecuadorian author Eduardo Delatorre is a critical, interdisciplinary work that blends philosophy, biotechnology, ethics, and cultural critique to explore the promises and dangers of transhumanism. Drawing from his background as a chemist and pharmacist involved in medical device development, Delatorre questions whether humanity is truly evolving-or merely dehumanizing itself in the name of technological progress. Through concepts such as "transhumanist posthumanism," he interrogates visions of immortality and artificial enhancement, warning that such advances will likely remain accessible only to the economic elite, resulting in a "customized evolution" defined by wealth and subjective criteria. He introduces the term Para Humanism to describe how artificial intelligence is beginning to emulate and even replace human creative capacities, particularly in music, writing, and art. The book also offers a sharp critique of the academic peer review system, which Delatorre sees as structurally resistant to new, interdisciplinary approaches. Rather than reject technology, he calls for a responsible and philosophically grounded evaluation of its impact. His proposed field, the Philosophy of Biotechnological Sciences, offers a new academic framework to critically assess humanity's potential futures.
