Abstract

In this paper we set out to identify a number of issues related to the human bio-improvement. The subject of the paper is all the more controversial as the bio-improvement represents the intervention of new technologies in the biological sphere of man. This is a prospective idea for the time being as these technologies are not accessible to all individuals.  What we want to emphasize is that the paper is intended to be theoretical, as the ideas that we will bring to the fore are prospective. There are therefore a number of reasons for concern, reasons that lead us to rethink the ontological and social condition of man.
