Abstract

V originále

The aim of the presentation is to introduce the concept of human enhancement, its methods and its relation to personal identity. Also several approaches to personal identity will be described. Transhumanism is special think tank supporting human enhancement through modern technologies and some of its representatives claim, that even the great change of human organisms will not affect their personal identity. I will briefly describe the most important means of human enhancement and consider the problem of human identity for each of them separately.
