Introduction. The article is devoted to the ethics of transhumanism as a philosophical trend that elevates hedonistic values to the main principle of human existence.

The difficulty in assessing transhumanist ideas is associated with the rigid determinism of human life by the technosphere. Theoretical analysis.

Theoretical analysis.
