		Transhumanism describes an emergent school of speculative philosophy which is predicated on the idea that the human species does not represent the endpoint of evolution but rather the beginning of a new self-directed evolutionary era, sometimes referred to as the post-Darwinian era.
		Transhumanism is also concerned with investigation into the implications of social, technological and scientific means of overcoming physical human limitations, and is also a movement which argues the case for fundamentally altering the human condition through these means.
		Transhumanism maintains that this is good and that humans can and should become more than human through the application of such technological innovations as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, neuropharmaceuticals, prosthetic enhancements and mind-machine interfaces.

	Transhumanism
		Transhumanism is an emergent school of speculative philosophy analysing or favouring the use of certain technologies to improve the human condition beyond the constraints of biological evolution.
		Transhumanism was given its modern definition and characterization by philosopher Dr. Max More: "Transhumanism is a class of philosophies that seek to guide us towards a posthuman condition.

		Transhumanism is a nascent approach to bioethics, futurism, art and culture whose adherents affirm the use of technology to overcome the limitations of the human body.
		Transhumanism has been implicit in the writings of many humanists, futurists and ethicists for centuries, but the trend has only become visible with the emergence of transhumanist groups, journals and books in recent years.
		And transhumanism has only recently acquired critical viability now that the breadth, power and scope of 21st century biotechnologies and their inevitable impact on the human condition is becoming widely apparent.

	Transhumanism and Extropianism
		There are many definitions of Transhumanism, but basically it is the philosophy that we can and should consciously evolve beyond our present human limitations, most usually through scientific means.
		Extropism is considered a subset of transhumanism but the boundaries distinguishing the two are rather blurred.
		Curiously for philosophies that exhort the breaking free of boundaries and limitations, both transhumanism (in its present guise) and extropianism are too often based on rationalistic principles typical of 19th and 20th century materialistic philosophy.

		It's not accurate to say that "some transhumanist organizations support eugenics, others don't"; none of the major transhumanist organizations support eugenics, and while some eugenics-promoting organizations may have started to use the word "transhumanism", this is not the original meaning, and mainstream transhumanists don't want anything to do with them.
		All this is a shame, because there are very important non-fluffy questions here about technology and the future of humanity, and the answer to many of them should be "yes".
