10. Lošinjski dani bioetike - Hrvatsko filozofsko društvo

S jedne strane, neželjene reakcije postaju predmet diskusija u javnosti tek
kada dođe do ozbiljnih posljedica (npr. povećana smrtnost od kardiovaskularnih
bolesti zbog neadekvatne procjene sigurnosti koksiba), a s druge
strane, nekritički se potencira opasnost od neželjenih reakcija, što može
imati isto tako ozbiljne posljedice po zdravlje stanovništva (npr. vakcina
protiv gripe). Postoje standardi u priopćavanju podataka o sigurnosti lijekova
(akronim ABOUT), ali su podaci često kontradiktorni, a mogućnost
zloupotrebe velika. Također, često se zanemaruje sigurnost biljnih preparata
i lijekova koji se nabavljaju bez recepta.

THE “UNCANNY VALLEY” AND HUMAN IDENTITY
Several aspects of the somewhat troubling development of robotics
and its perception will be put to examination in the article, starting from the
concept of the “uncanny” in Ernst Jentsch and Sigmund Freud, through the
potential plausibility of the “uncanny valley” hypothesis, to the problem of
human identity. The “uncanny valley” problem will be explored through
some cognitive and axiological accounts in order to show its importance in
the bioethical discourse. The issues of endangerment of the human identity
will be analyzed through the concept of preservation of human uniqueness
on two levels: 1. the development of robotics and its implications on the
perception of “human” in practice, theory and pop culture; 2. the development
of the willing refusal of uniqueness and/or of human characteristics
through the “kigurumi”, specifically the “animegao” and “ulzzang”; in the
light of the contemporary ideas of physical soundness and beauty and the
ways to obtain them as well as the existence of computer generated humans
in arts and media.
