520 _aAt first glance, Christian hope in a “superabundant” life (Jn 10:10) already signals the idea of an enhancement of life beyond its natural limits. But the possibilities of bodily augmentation opened by new technologies are in danger of neglecting the existential dimension of the body, the sense of a “lived” body understood as a nexus of constituent relationships which is at the heart of the Christian concept of salvation. We will argue that the notion of the “spiritual body” advanced by Paul in his teaching on the resurrection (1 Cor 15) enables us to imagine the salvation of the augmented body, insofar as this body is seen as destined to be spiritually clothed and transfigured.
