Abstract

Background: In postmodernity it is fundamental to question whether the improvement of the body, with the science and technology (through biotechnology, nanotechnology) would be a human and personality right, especially if the body with technological applications, the proteic body and the cyborg could receive the protection of the personality rights, based on dignity, a concept that is reasoned on human ideals.

Objective: This article aims to analyze thecniques as the biohacking and the cyborguism as a possibility for human improvement in the light of personality rights, especially the human dignity.

Method: The research used the hypothetical-deductive method, based on research and bibliographic review of books, articles from periods, legislation and doctrine applicable to the subject of the article.

Results: As a result, it was found that the improvement of the body with the help of technology is a human and personality right, especially in the face of chronic diseases and conditions that cause pain and suffering and that can be avoided with applications based on the post-human body, in the protean body and in cyborgism, concepts that also deserve protection by the personality rights. However, it is essential that this discussion is permeated by bioethical and legal implications involving eugenic practices and discrimination and domination, considering the possibility of reification of the human being, of the serviceability of the body and mind in front of the machine.
