Chimeras and Hybrids: An Ethical Problem or a Problem for the Ethics?

Authors

  • Iñigo de Miguel Beriain

Abstract

The aim of this paper consists on analyzing the consequences that the creation of chimeras and hybrids may have on the ethical paradigms we are currently linked to,
specially the antropocentrism. We will try to demonstrate that this paradigm can not adequately face the existence of this type of beings, which defy the bases it is built on. This should lead us to replace it for another type of ethical paradigms.
