Abstract

The human being experiences in the depths of his being a longing for plenitude. However, pain, disease and death accompany their existence. Transhumanism tries to overcome the limits of man through all a technological scientific development and ventures to predict the definitive triumph over death. In this study, we carry out a historical journey in which we analyze the meaning of finitude and death for both transhumanism and Christian humanism, focused on the person. Transhumanism and Christianity coincide in the desire to conquer death. The understanding of the concepts studied and the means to save humanity that they are proposed differ in both approaches. We understand that in transhumanism there is a reductionism of the definition of person and therefore of the solution that it is offered to respond to the deep longing inscribed each human being.
