| Summary: | The advent of an enhancement medicine, goal-oriented to enhance human performance with technosciences, as far as the development of an imaginary of "posthuman" worn by the transhumanist movement activists, questions more than ever borders between human, society and the word of the living. This article aims to show that it is the object and the very identity of sociology which are directly affected and challenged by the growing desire to improve the human. Indeed, this new biomedical and biopolitics continent forces more than ever sociology to think life itself. The need to lay the foundations of sociopolitics of life and what might be called ecological humanities is crucial if we want to address in a critical manner, not only human enhancement, but the biocapitalist exploitation of body and life which is at stake more fundamentally.
