Resumen: El transhumanismo considera necesaria la modificación de la natura-leza humana mediante la biotecnología, mediante la eliminación de la enfermedad, el envejecimiento y otras condiciones propias de la finitud humana, a través de la mejora de las capacidades físicas y mentales. En este artículo se dis-cuten las propuestas de super inteligencia, super bienestar y super longevidad buscadas por el transhumanismo, así como la insuficiencia de la noción de mejora física frente a la de perfeccionamiento o crecimiento humano, como punto de partida para resolver, entre otros desafíos antropológicos que plantea el trans-humanismo, si es modificable la naturaleza humana mediante la biotecnología.
Palabras clave: Transhumanismo, enhancement, perfeccionamiento.
