“…In this part of our paper, we wish to debate the (bio)ethical dilemmas that come from the implications of the new medical technologies through means of which the homosexual families could have their own natural babies. The dilemmas that emerge here are connected to the legal framework on one side, and on the other side, to the fact that old ethics are no longer capable of giving answers to the current problems of the society (Terec-Vlad, 2016).…”

“…Considering a new type of family, we could say that within the transmodern family, the emphasis is on responsibility and freedom. The responsibility (Frunză, 2016) towards the non-presence (Terec-Vlad, 2016) in the context of new technologies of medically-assisted human reproduction is based on care, as care towards the other. Care/taking care of the other doesn"t mean compassion and mercy, but making actions that wouldn"t prejudice future generations.…”

Abstract:The development of techniques and technologies nowadays offers multiple options on how we wish to live our lives, to improve the unwanted aspects of our bodies, to edit our genes in order for our offspring to be more resistant to diseases or to prolongue our lives by loading our consciousness into a digital device. The new technologies and the emergence of the Internet changed the way in which the individual relates with the others. The access to information is much easier, and this aspect led to a change in the individual's behaviour, the family also suffering transformations. For example, the social networks and the dating websites offer the individual the possibility to choose a partner based on characteristics such as the zodiac sign, hair or eye color, preferences, etc. In our paper we wish to analyse the transformations that might take place in the family considering the new scientific discoveries in reproduction in the transhumanist context. One of the scenarios who sparked controversies is the fact that due to the new medical technologies, there might be possible to create individuals from cells harvested from two persons of the same sex, but also to create embryos from the cells of the same person (solo-reproduction) (Cutaș, Smajor, 2016). Aside from the bioethics and moral implications this type of actions involves, we wish to bring to the fore the principle of responsibility towards the human nonpresence or the non-human presence, while the creation of improved individuals or the possibility of having children created from the cells of a single individual are aspects that raise multiple questions referring to the way in which conception has evolved. Besides the fact that the new technologies make it possible to conceive children from one single person, the sexual relationships have reached a whole new dimension too: futurologists support the idea according to which in the next years, sex with robots will be possible and affordable, therefore there will be no more need for a human partner in order to fulfil one's sexual needs. Thus, in order to procreate, an individual will no longer be necessary, and in order to fulfil the sexual needs, the partner could be a robot imitating the sexual partner's behaviour. In our paper, we will analyse the way in which the family has evolved, so we will bring into discussion the traditional perspective and the current tendencies given by the new technologies.

In the present paper, we try to underline the importance of the Economic Cycles in current life and to propse and sustain the tri-phases cycles of development, as being the most suitable model for nowadays. Why? Because the decenial cycle overlaps the movements of the business institutions such as money, interest, credit, investments, in one word the true business cycle. The expansion of the credit is the propeller and the prevention of its release represnts the mean the avoidance of the Business Cycles, those which shatter the current world. At the same time, the overview of Business Cycles leads to the fact that we've tried to sustain the most appropriate expression for these inherent ondulations of the economy and society and to highlight the model of Economic Cycles the most pliable of what is happening in the real economy of today. The cycles can not be avoided, wether there are due to the activities of a determined economic and social system and more, if there are influenced by structural and circulating financial institutions (money, interest, credit, even market) and, above all, productive investments and sustainability on the specific market.
