Part 3/11:
The Rise of Biotechnology and Information Technology
An urgent topic for exploration is the fusion of biotechnology and information technology, which heralds the potential to redefine our understanding of what it means to be human. The implications of these advancements might undermine the humanist foundations that have bolstered modern civilization.

Humanist ideology encourages individuals to follow their feelings, embracing subjectivity and personal authority in political, economic, ethical, and educational frameworks.
