Transhumanism is a current of thought that promotes human enhancement through technological progress. The debate that provokes transhumanism needs to be thought in the light of scientific and technological progress and at the same time demands to be approached from an ethical perspective. The opportunity to overcome the biological limits of our human nature is more than evident. Now, what is involved is knowing how to take advantage of this opportunity with responsibility.
