One of the most celebrated proponents of Transhumanism, Max More, has given us the most comprehensive definition of what the concept of transhumanism stands for. On his website, he posts:
‘Transhumanism is a blanket term for the school of thought that refuses to accept ‘traditional’ human limitations such as death, disease and other such frailties. Transhumans are generally interested in a variety of futuristic topics, including space travel, cryonic suspension, mind uploading, bio and nano technologies, computers and neurology. They refuse to accept boundaries and limitations that keep humans comfortable at the stake of human fulfilment.’
Strong proponents of the ideology go as far as to say that transhumanism can eradicate death and allow humans to exist eternally without aging a day more than they choose to. They argue that it could be the end of human misery by allowing everyone to have the same abilities physical as well as cognitive. Disability will be a term in the ancient English dictionary if Transhumanism is implemented and accepted completely.
Co-founder of the World Transhumanist Association and Oxford Philosopher, Nick Bostrom claim transhumanism is the concept that can refine the ‘half-baked’ human nature. Many other advocates, including More claim that the concept will help them transcend all limitations, physical, theoretical, and ideological, going so far as to say that nothing, not even God, physical or geographical limitations can hold back human betterment.
Through the use of technology, humans will and should be able to enhance their sensory, cognitive and physical capacities. They go as far as to claim that the use of technology, nano-technology, genetic engineering, etc. can help create a human race that holds superior intelligence, and physical abilities and is immortal. According to them, it can end human suffering.
