The fast development of biotechnology and its huge potentialities have stirred up the hope of the application in an immediate future of the new advances to human genetic enhancement. A number of philosophical analyses have been devoted to elucidation of the ethical problems and the foreseeable consequences of this application. However, a look to this question through Ortega y Gasset’s philosophy of technology could shed some light on two relatively less discussed aspects of this issue. On the one hand, it is important to analyze the reasons and interests that lead some persons to wish the radical transformation of the human being by means of technology. On the other hand, the attempt to establish some limits to human enhancement should not ...
