Abstract
The article is devoted to the human values transformation driven by the convergent technologies. Those technologies can open the door to change the human consciousness on organic or neurobiological plane and can stimulate the development of ways to overcome the boundaries of human capabilities and of methods of purposeful modification of the biological human nature. The problem of new military technologies application is particularly underlined and analyzed in the article.
