Abstract

Many transhumanists believe that enhancement can bring us a better life and erase some diseases and incompatibilities in the future, but it may bring us problems that we can be unable to cope with. Humanity may misuse the means of enhancement. What future could it bring us? Is it possible to have a future from science fiction movies and novels? How can we provide a future that has justifiable accessibility to these enhancements? Will we evolve into something different? These are the questions we usually ask when it comes to enhancement. Our intention is to look into these questions from a bioethical point of view, taking into account both the transhumanistic ideas and their critiques.
