| description | Superhero films show us significant attitudes, embodied in characters that, as the main objective, have the obligation to decide in situations where their moral principles are put in question. Their lifes move among a myriad of aspirations and fears that usually end up putting the survival of the human species at risk. Thus, the superhero must be considered by bioethics, since, this science fiction film confronts us with dilemmatic situations in which our conceptions on topics such as nature, survival and interventions to the human species, demand us to question ourselves about of what we can allow, favor or prohibit, about the use of, for example, biotechnology on human and non-human lifes, highlighting that the limits between human and non-human have become more insecure. |

Los filmes de superhéroes nos muestran actitudes significativas, encarnadas en personajes que, como principal objetivo, tienen la obligación de decidir ante situaciones en las cuales sus principios morales se ponen en cuestión. Sus vidas se mueven entre un sinnúmero de aspiraciones y miedos que, usualmente, terminan poniendo en riesgo la supervivencia de la especie humana. Así, el superhéroe debe ser considerado por la bioética, ya que, este cine de ciencia ficción nos enfrenta a situaciones dilemáticas en las que nuestras concepciones sobre temas como la naturaleza, la supervivencia y las intervenciones a la especie humana nos demandan cuestionarnos acerca de qué podemos permitir, favorecer o prohibir, acerca del uso de, por ejemplo, la biotecnología sobre vidas humanas y no humanas, resaltando que, los límites entre humanos y no humanos se han vuelto más inseguros.
