Abstract
Posthumanism appears protected in the pretension to improve indefinitely human capacities, through the use of the most innovative techno-scientific resources, from genetic engineering to artificial intelligence, passing through nanotechnology and nanorobotics. His optimistic vision of the use of such scientific and technological advances, allows to generate an ideology of indefinite progress applied to human reality. Posthumanist pproaches introduce elements in the definition of human identity that entail a profound transformation of it. In the first place, due to the consequent unacceptance of the human limitations that they entail. In the intellectual, the physical and the sexual, the transformations that posthumanism proposes would entail that the elements on which we base the defin ition of human identity, which always appear to refer to specific limitations, would have no meaning. However, contrary to what it may seem at first sight, the disappearance or blurring of the limits would not lead to a more satisfactory definition or experience of personal identity. The posthumanist promises reveal the darkness that often accompanies the to the apparent luminosity. For the rest, all this poses numerous challenges in the areas of equity and justice
