摘要：One way to understand the human is by their biology. It seems ambiguous. On the one hand, there are biological characteristics that give rise to complex and highly specialized skills, which open up possibilities of its own, distinct from the ‘positive’ from other living beings. On the other hand, there are characteristics that make human life finite and relatively vulnerable, which tend to be ‘negative’ interpretation. In both cases, there are biological characteristics that in themselves are neither good nor bad, only constituting a biological species. In the bioethical debate, there is a direct passage of facts to values, so the fact that the human being biologically vulnerable justify an evaluative choice by overcoming some biological characteristics. Postulating a tension between facts and values, our aim is to show the relevance of the subject biotechnoscientific means of human enhancement to the regulation from the protection of freedom of choice based on the existential self-understanding of the individual (we’ll call hermeneutics choice), a key measure to prevent or combat forms of oppression in a biopolitical context.
