Portuguese to English: The Artificial Womb - Foreword Detailed field: Philosophy
Source text - Portuguese Prefácio do livro "O Útero Artificial"
O lançamento de O Útero Artificial de Henri Atlan, no Brasil constitui um momento de regozijo para a comunidade científica que busca referências biológicas e filosóficas para o debate sobre a articulação entre inovações tecnológicas e as questões concernentes ao humanismo. Mais do que nunca é preciso atualizar esse termo, ora menosprezado, ora banalizado, restituindo-lhe, através de um diálogo perspicaz e penetrante com a ciência e a tecnologia, sua densidade significativa. No Renascimento, humanismo significava a alforria do império do dogma religioso. No Iluminismo, a ambição da ilustração universal e do estabelecimento do Estado de direito político e jurídico. No século XXI, o desafio é o de que a ciência e a tecnologia, em especial na área biotecnológica, assumam plenamente os privilégios e os tributos de sua condição de criações humanas, prestando serviço, substantivamente, à lenta convergência de processos evolutivos de hominização e de humanização.

Translation - English Foreword of the book "The Artificial Womb"
The release of Artificial Womb by Henri Atlan in Brazil constitutes a moment of delight for the scientific community that seeks biological and philosophical references for the debate about the articulation between technological innovations and the issues concerning humanism. More than ever it is necessary to update this term, sometimes despised, other times vulgarized, reviving its significant density, through a smart and penetrating dialogue with science and technology. During the Renaissance, humanism meant the enfranchisement from the religious dogma empire. In the Illuminist period, it was the ambition of the universal Enlightenment and the establishment of the political and juridical Rule of law. In the XXI century, the challenge is that science and technology, especially in the biotechnological area, fully assume the privileges and tributes of their condition of human creations, rendering service, substantively, to the slow convergence of the evolutionary processes of the hominids species and those of humanization.
