2. What is Transhumanism?
Transhumanism is an international intellectual
movement that aims to better the human condition
through the use of developing and creating technology
that can be widely available.
Those within the transhumanist communities also study
potential benefits and dangers of the emerging
technologies that could overcome fundamental human
limitations as well as the ethical side of using such
technology.
