Abstract
The article aims at answering the question whether biomedical enhancement deprives us of humanity. Philosophical reflection is focused on a several areas: the issue of eugenics, the issue of transformation of human nature and the character of parental love. The conducted analyses show that in the case of biomedical enhancement we would be dealing with threefold negation of humanity. Firstly, human enhancement is strictly connected with eugenic selection. Secondly, it transforms or destroys human nature. Thirdly, it changes character of parental love from unconditional to self-love (egoism).
