Design of human as test subject

The article discusses ethical and anthropological problems of human design. Based on the ideas suggested by B.G. Yudin, we reviewed a number of types of biotechnological design and described ontological characteristics and linguistic mode of the design process. We used the "logs" bioethical incidence to describe the process of transformation of a person into a test subject (the concept suggested by B.G. Yudin). We found that biomedical investigation involving human subjects seems to be a process of gradual changes in human characteristics. We conclude that researchers regard human subjects as bearers of certain names, personal characteristics, physical qualities, etc. and equal them with research objects.
