Transhumanism

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international and intellectual movement that ambitions to convert the human situation by using developing and making broadly available sophisticated technologies to significantly enhance human intellect and physiology.[1][2]
Transhumanist thinkers have a look at the ability advantages and dangers of emerging technologies that might conquer essential human in addition to ethical[3] barriers of the use of such technology.[4] The maximum not unusual transhumanist thesis is that humans might also eventually be able to rework themselves into one-of-a-kind beings with skills so significantly expanded from the herbal condition as to advantage the label of posthuman beings.[2]
The present day which means of the term "transhumanism" turned into foreshadowed through one of the first professors of futurology, FM-2030, who taught "new concepts of the human" at The New School in the Nineteen Sixties, while he started to discover individuals who adopt technologies, existence and worldviews "transitional" to posthumanity as "transhuman".[5] The assertion could lay the highbrow groundwork for the British philosopher Max More to start articulating the standards of transhumanism as a futurist philosophy in 1990 and organizing in California an intelligentsia that has because grown into the global transhumanist motion.[5][6][7]
Influenced via seminal works of science fiction, the transhumanist vision of a transformed future humanity has attracted many supporters and detractors from a extensive variety of perspectives, consisting of philosophy and faith.[5] Transhumanism has been characterised via one critic, Francis Fukuyama, as the various "world's maximum dangerous thoughts",[8] to which Ronald Bailey has countered that it's miles rather the "motion that epitomizes the most daring, brave, imaginitive and idealistic aspirations of humanity".[9]
