Lab Made Human and Genetic Family Distortion:Fukuyama’s Challenging View on Modern Biotechnology

Infertility is one of the issues human societies have always coped with from past to today, and as the human societies have advanced and industrialized, the risks of infertility have grown, too. Solutions have been proposed for this issue through new biological technologies, however, the same solutions have also created challenges that ignoring them could lead to horrible social and moral disasters. The depth of the issue revealed through the views of the great scholar, Fukuyama, is a critical warning for the future of human nature. Fukuyama has actually evaluated these challenges basically beyond what we know as human society and directed at human nature; however, the truth is that such technological solutions will create social and cultural holes in any society before their ever-growing byproducts reveal themselves throughout the world. In the current research, we have reviewed and evaluated the issue based on Fukuyama’s views and theories but with a local look at the matter. This research suggests that according to Iran’s cultural, social, and ethical backgrounds, the lack of observation in exchanges, including technological ones, and also non-transparency in Iran’s law system, applying such technological solutions in Iran have created new emerging challenges and demands the special attention of researchers and professional experts in social and behavioral sciences more than ever.
