About Transhumanism
Human enhancement techniques and other emerging technologies will transform the human condition. We will modify and improve our minds and bodies in increasing powerful ways. How will this impact our culture? Will current inequalities be remedied or new, more vast ones be created? Who will be left behind? Transhumanism is a movement that advocates the use of technology to enhance the human body and mind. Transhumanists also confront the ethical questions that arise in the creation of a posthuman world and the transformation of our identities.
