This piece seeks to present some origins of the biomedical transformation and
ontological of death -as an ontological determinant- into sickness, a step that will
be possible thanks to the advancements in medicine and biotechnology. From that
exposition, the contributions of Craig Venter, María Blasco, Raymond Kurzweil, and
Nick Bostrom about the control and overcoming of aging, robotic humanizations,
and constant improvement of human life limitations in front of its determinant
possibility (finitude). Those issues were studied from the philosophical platform that
Martin Heidegger expresses in Being and Time, where he understands death as the
most proper, irrespective, and unavoidable possibility the Dasein must face. Finally,
the problem of death with senescence in its current state is articulated. The article
promotes, in conclusion, new propositions to prosecute the characterization of this
biomedical and ontological transformation of death -as an ontological determinantinto
sickness. [-]
