An analysis of the peculiarities of lawmaking activities in the field of personal non-property rights of individuals in the “posthuman”, characterized by rapid development of information technology, the emergence of more complex technological objects, advances in biotechnology and the challenges of information society to develop a holistic view on the directions of recodification (update) of civil legislation of Ukraine in modern conditions of human self-awareness of their natural rights and bifurcation of worlds in which man is forced to live in harmony with the world of nature, technology and artificial world, which people themselves joined.

The aim of the article is to form theoretical and practical proposals for improving lawmaking in the process of updating the civil legislation of Ukraine in the field of personal non-property rights of individuals in the rapid development of information technology, biotechnology, etc. in the period called posthumanity.

The methodological basis for the study of lawmaking in the field of personal non-property rights in terms of updating domestic civil law were primarily generalphilosophical approaches to understanding the nature and content of human values for society and the formation of legal and legislative bases, the fundamental purpose of which is respect conditions for all members of society. A significant number of methods of scientific knowledge were also used to write the article, which together helped to reveal the topic and achieve the main goal, including historical-legal, logical, dialectical, synergistic, formal-legal methods, as well as methods of complex systems analysis and synthesis, abstraction, etc.

The conclusions state that the lawmaking search should end with the formation of a set of normatively enshrined principles of personal non-property rights, some of which should remain unchanged, and some should be supplemented by provisions characterizing the current stage of information society development. artificial intelligence, new biological species appear, experiments with living organisms are carried out, etc.; this is becoming increasingly important in the era called posthumanity and may be the subject of further search for effective solutions in law, provided that the introduction of humane lifeaffirming value in this period.
