The Catholic view on bioethics – the ethics of life – can help a lot when making moral decisions. Human life is infinitely desired by God (Gen 2:7). It is to be treasured and protected at every stage, from conception to natural death. Embryos are human beings with the same fundamental rights as anyone. Noone should be allowed to kill an embryo, not even if this can save many lives. Using dead embryos is often comparable to the donation of organs after death.
Artificial Intelligence can do much to improve the quality of life. Great care should be taken in discerning the limits of what is acceptable. However intelligent a robot can become, it will never be a human being, and cannot morally replace human interaction in every case. Transhumanism as a philosophy searches to create a better version of humankind, which goes against our faith that God created us good (Gen 1:27.31).
