In the sequence, we had the lectures by Prof. Dr. Rafał Andrzej Łukasiewicz, from the University of Rzeszów, Poland, and by Prof. Dr. Eliseu Raphael Venturi, from the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil.
The theme of the first day was Bio-rights, Bioethics, and New Technologies. Prof. Rafał spoke about the process of new technologies, from facial recognition, applied to in vitro fertilization. He also commented on the harmful uses of eugenics, potentially violating ethics in assisted human reproduction, and how artificial intelligence can help this process by removing human interference. In turn, Prof. Eliseu held a philosophical debate about bioethics in postmodernity and explained that one of the concerns of bioethics should always be to aim at theoretical aspects and balance them with practice. He added that technology should be a constructive tool in this process.
