Abstract
Prospects of scientific and technical civilization are largely connected with the possibilities of biotechnology. The work examines the philosophical aspects of technically organized life: a technical object consists of simple objects; a simple object is subject to copying; a record is an information1 hypostasis of a simple object; the material world is informationally unified; a technical fact consists of simple objects in their actual connection; a technical fact has a special historicity connected with its origin; the ontology of a copy sets the compromises of existence; time launches the processes of substantiation in copies. The conclusions of the study postulate the possibility of living technology.
