To what extent should we transform our body in pursuit of perfect performance or longevity? In a world where the boundary between health, technology and wellness is increasingly blurred, inevitable questions arise: will we end up competing against athletes enhanced by artificial intelligence or genetics? Where does the recommendation of a healthy lifestyle end and where does social pressure begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To answer these and other questions, specialists from science, health and the humanities will meet on 22 and 23 October<\/strong> in the XIX Seminar on Biomedicine, Ethics and Human Rights<\/strong>, in Madrid. Under the motto \u00abBody, identity and narrative\u00bb<\/em>, the meeting will address fundamental dilemmas about how to reconcile scientific progress with individual wellness, equity and human dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At first glance, debating technological enhancement in sport, the pressure to fit into healthy lifestyle patterns or end-of-life decisions may seem like distant topics. However, they all share a common meeting point: our relationship with our own body and the freedom to decide about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the first day, the presentations and debates will delve into key topics for modern health and wellness:<\/p>\n\n\n\nA journey from sports performance to integral health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
