Technologies and Fields of Human Enhancement: From Gene Editing to Moral Bioenhancement

Issue 11 (2020) of the Ramon Llull Journal of Applied Ethics contains a monographic section in which four articles are
published on human enhancement. Two of them (those by Alonso, Anomaly & Savulescu, and Capasso & Santoema) deal with the use of CRISPR gene editing systems for the enhancement of human capabilities. The other two (those of Conradie and Rueda) deal with different ethical aspects of using biotechnology to increase human morality. In the present article, F. Lara and M. Moreno contextualize these four contributions by pointing out the background and interpretative keys to the debates in which they are inserted.
