ABSTRACT
Transhumanism coexists with humanity. The present reflection analyzes the Biopunk, a countercultural movement
that breaks with the traditional ways of investigating Big Science. That frames his investigative management in
the DIYBio ethic —Do It Yourself, do it yourself—, enriching the technoscientific channels from the Small Science.
Performing a tracking from the punk rock movement of the seventies, going through the Cyber and Cypherpunk,
coming to Biopunk and the actions of biohackers, their ethical bases are contrasted with the autonomy, vulnerability
and justice of bioethics. A field is identified which bioethics has not occupied; his encounter with Biopunk and
the way he could make his approach to the mentioned countercultural movement.
