CRISIS Publications

The ancient lie that we can become gods echoes today in the rise of transhumanism. Genetic engineering, AI, and other technologies tempt us to redefine what it means to be human. This clear and urgent reflection exposes the hidden spiritual dangers behind this movement and calls us back to natural law, true human dignity, and our God-given nature. A thoughtful defense of what it means to remain fully human in a world racing to surpass humanity itself.
