CBC addresses bioethical issues that affect our humanity, especially ones that affect the most vulnerable.

The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network (CBCN) addresses bioethical issues that most profoundly affect our humanity, especially issues that arise in the lives of the most vulnerable among us. We work through a variety of media platforms—documentary film, writing, speaking, interviews, social media, and more—to educate and inform members of the general public, thought leaders, lawmakers, and others on ethical issues in healthcare, biomedical research, and biotechnological advancement.

CBC is not against technology.
We are against any vision of technology that forgets the human person.
Technology should heal, assist, protect, and serve.
It should not redefine human worth.
It should not turn children into products.
It should not treat disability as failure.
It should not teach us to despise the body.
It should not replace dignity with optimization.
Human beings are not machines to be upgraded.

Transhumanism is already shaping the way our culture thinks about reproduction.
Embryos are screened.
Traits are selected.
Disabilities are targeted.
Artificial wombs are imagined.
Children are increasingly treated as products of design.
CBC stands against any vision of the future that makes a child’s welcome depend on optimization.
Children are not upgrades. They are human beings.

Transhumanism divorces biology from reality. More from our interview with Jennifer Bilek.

"We're much, much more profitable as parts than we are as whole, integral human beings." Jennifer Bilek on Venus Rising

When does medicine stop healing us—and start trying to redesign us?

10/21/2026

There is a difference between healing and enhancement.
Healing serves the person.
Enhancement can make the person serve an ideal.
Healing responds to suffering.
Enhancement may reject the limits of being human.
Medicine should never become a project of manufacturing “better” human beings.
Human dignity comes first.

What happens when we treat the body as something to escape? As a platform to alter, upgrade and hack whenever it fails to meet externalized expectations? Transhumanism is showing us a dystopic future where disability must be eradicated, aging and death are taboo, and biological limitations, whether congenital or conditional must be overcome with medicine and technology. At its core, this is an elitist and eugenic ideology.

10/13/2026

Transhumanism often treats the body as an obstacle.
Too weak.
Too slow.
Too dependent.
Too mortal.
Too limited.
But the body is not a design flaw. It is part of the human person.
Technology should help us care for the body—not teach us to despise it.
