Summary/Abstract: In the context of the developmentof new technologies, the Church points to the need to discover the truth aboutman and his role in the world of technology. In modern technology analyzes, theso-called service technique and promethean technique. In this approach of technologythere is a certain duality of its understanding. In new technical solutions,there may be an attempt on the place of a man in the world, a rebellion againstGod’s laws, or a servile use of God’s gifts, in accordance with God’s plan. Criticismof transhumanism amounts to objections regarding the possibility of achievingset goals and ethical reservations. These are the objections of the general nature,which has been long sought for the spontaneous development of technology andnew technologies.
