El transhumanismo convive con la humanidad. La presente reflexión analiza  el Biopunk, movimiento  contracultural que rompen los esquemas tradicionales de investigar del Big Science. Aquel enmarca su gestión investigativa  en la ética DIYBio (Do It Yourself, hágalo usted mismo),  enriqueciendo  los canales tecno científicos desde la Small Science. Realizando un rastreo desde el movimiento del Punk Rock de los años setenta, pasando por el Cyber y Cypherpunk,  llegando al Biopunk y el accionar de los biohackers, se contrasta sus bases éticas con la autonomía, vulnerabilidad y justicia propias de la bioética. Se identifica un campo el cual la bioética no ha ocupado; su encuentro con el Biopunk y la manera como podría aquella realizar su aproximación al mencionado movimiento contracultural.

This chapter reviews distinctions between kinds of science, which is especially relevant to the book’s topic because it is an area that Karl Popper did not consider in detail. This creates a problem since critics of the hypothesis often do not distinguish between true hypothesis-based science and other kinds that don’t depend on hypotheses, and the traditional divisions of science miss the main points. The chapter distinguishes among several modern kinds of science including Big Science/Small Science and how they relate to Big Data and Little Data, and why Discovery Science is different from hypothesis-testing science. It separates “exploratory” from “confirmatory” studies and explains why this terminology can create confusion in trying to understand science. The differences between applied and basic science are genuine and meaningful because these two kinds of science have different goals and apply different, though overlapping, standards to achieve their goals.
