El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo abordar dos filmes: Never let me go (2010) y Ex-Machina (2015). Se propone para la lectura de los mismos el establecimiento de un contrapunto entre ambos, teniendo como eje la consideración de la dignidad y del estatuto de humanidad al que este concepto viene adherido. En este marco el cine aparece como herramienta para plantearnos dilemas éticos y bioéticos. La aplicación de nuevas tecnologías en seres humanos da lugar a nuevos dilemas en el ámbito biomédico, lo cual plantea dilemas bioéticos. Dentro de dichas tecnologías se encuentran la manipulación genética/clonación y la generación de inteligencia artificial, temas abordados por las mencionadas películas. Con respecto a estas pueden plantearse distintos interrogantes: ¿Tienen los seres humanos, creados artificialmente para un fin determinado, la misma dignidad que otros? ¿Cómo se argumenta moralmente la intervención de la tecnología para dar lugar a humanos que sean medios para un fin? ¿Cuál es el objetivo de la inteligencia artificial? ¿Puede reemplazar está a los seres humanos? ¿Puede atribuírseles la cualidad de la dignidad? Puede pensarse a estos dilemas éticos, que giran en torno a la humanidad y a la dignidad, interrogadas por las intromisiones de las nuevas tecnologías, como una irrupción de singularidad en un universo donde el hombre era considerado finito y perecedero, ¿y si aparece la posibilidad de la inmortalidad?
