Sumario:The present work aims to approach to the notion of «biotechnological moral enhancements». For this, the first part of the article is aimed at identify some necessary concepts in this process: such as enhancement, human enhancement, moderate or radical enhancement, traditional or biotechnological, therapeutic or post-human, cognitive enhancement and moral enhancement. In the second part, the problem of a definition is approached, arguing that the difficulty to agree on a definition lies in the different anthropological models that underlie the configuration of the idea of «moral». Following, some of the problems that divide the doctrine on the concept of moral enhancement are listed, such as whether this is an improvement of the moral subject, or of his acts, or whether the results or of the mere intentions are improved. This work concludes with a reflection about the difficulty of considering «moral» enhancement the simple production of a convenient or positive result that improves the standards of social behavior of the intervened individuals, without this implying a change in the cause of the moral act.
