Summary/Abstract: The word “transhuman” first appeared in Dante’s Divine Comedy (Paradise, Canto I). It escribes the fate of the human body from the eschatological perspective. In the contemporary acceptance of the term, from the fact that we have no say in our births, we cannot ignore the fact that due to the evolution of science and technology, we can now aspire to live longer, healthier and more capable. The fundamental question that arises is what is the price and, depending on it, what are the limits that this process must accept.
