Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show that gender, both as a biological and social category,
ceases to exist in the vision of man constructed by contemporary genetics. In the paper,
I present the elementary concepts of genetic engineering and liberal genetics, and show how
these two currents in genetics change gender into a feature deprived of any designata. I advance
a thesis that the man of the future, a cyborg, is a man without gender.
