Transhumanism aims to enhance human capabilities through technology, but this raises issues that require global cooperation to address. The rapid advancement of technologies that could augment the human body and mind may profoundly impact society in the next 15-20 years before people are prepared. All nations must work together to 1) raise awareness of potential problems, 2) limit artificial evolution research due to risks, and 3) focus technology on helping the sick rather than altering baseline human abilities, to avoid inequality, unrest, loss of free will, and other threats to human nature and global stability. Failure to do so could divide society and endanger the human race.

2. The main goal of transhumanism is the
perfection of man through all possible
ways. To achieve this, transhumanism
offers:
 to support technological advances;
 to study science and technology, in
time to prevent the dangers and
moral issues that may impede the
use of these achievements;
 to expand the freedom of each
person, using scientific and
technological advances;
 as possible to postpone or even
cancel a person's death;
 to confront scientists and
organizations that have goals
contrary to the ideas of
transhumanism

3. Despite the attractiveness of the ideas of transhumanists,
in 2004, responding to questions the editors of Foreign
Policy, Francis Fukuyama said that transhumanism is the
world's most dangerous idea in the world.
This idea is really dangerous. The problem is acute today,
when technology advances so rapidly that we may
encounter it encounter in the next 15-20 years.
Society is not ready for a rapid development of
technology. The problem is compounded by the fact that
many people think that research to improve human
capabilities are the sick imagination of science fiction
writers. But it is a reality of our time. Society should pay
attention to the problems it may face as a result of
technological development. Man must understand how he
prepared for the possibility that technology will change
not only the world but also himself.

4.  The attempt to improve physical and mental capacities of man can lead to
inequality, because only a small part of mankind, which has huge sums of money,
be able to use these technologies. Thus, inequality will not only be the difference
between the incomes of the population, but the difference between mental and
physical abilities of the rich and the poor. This can lead to dissatisfaction of the
world's population, which in turn can lead to unrest.

5. Solution to the problem
Especially it is necessary to interest mankind this problem to society
estimated the threats that the world may face in the near future.
It is impossible to forbid the study. Limitation of the study that improves
physical abilities should be an initiative of people. But that does not mean
that we must fight with the research that can help patients. We need
to develop technologies to create
more functional prosthetic devices
for people who really need it, but do
not try to create technologies that
make people stronger or faster.

6. To draw public attention to problems that
1)
may result from the idea of ​transhumanists
2) Stop artificial evolution, which tend to
transhumanists. Such research could lead to
any consequences. The risk is too great.
Struggle with technology and technological
progress is not the goal.
3) To stop the embodiment of the ideas of
transhumanists, but actively developing
technology to improve the lives of sick and
disabled people.

7. Actions must be taken now. Necessary to raise
the interest of the citizens around the world on
this issue. Many are not even aware of what
transhumanism. People are not aware of the
ideas of transhumanists and don’t know about
the consequences that may result from inaction.
While transhumanism is just an idea, these
problems can be solved yet. If we do not solve
these problems now, then in the future this may
lead to a split in society.

8. The problem of all mankind
 The effectiveness of these measures will
increase only if the decisions on these issues
will be taken jointly by all States. If the issues
will be resolved within the same country, but
these measures are generally not appropriate.
Address the problems
we may encounter in
the next 20 years, are
not internal affairs of
individual states.
These problems are
common problems of
mankind.

9. Mankind has always sought the best. We are
transforming the world that not only leads to good
things, but also to environmental disasters, global
warming and many other problems. But the idea
of ​transhumanists is no longer in changing the world,
and in an attempt to change the nature of man
himself. This is the main danger of this idea.
Mankind has tried to create an image of a
"new perfect man" and that led to World
War II, to a terrible tragedy ...
If we do not stop the implementation of
the ideas of transhumanists, the human
race will slide into the abyss, as Icarus fell
into the sea, trying to fly high.
