	transhumanism - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Transhumanists generally support emerging technologies, including many that are controversial, such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science; as well as hypothetical future technologies such as artificial intelligence, mind uploading and cryonics.
		Transhumanists are only transhuman if they are actively seeking to become posthuman, which they claim is the next significant evolutionary step for the human species.
		As most transhumanists support non-technological changes to society, such as the spread of political liberty, and most critics of transhumanism support technological advances in areas such as communications and healthcare, the difference is often a matter of emphasis.

	Transhumanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progressive transhumanists anticipate the potential for future technologies and innovative social systems to improve the quality of all life by eliminating congenital mental and physical barriers, while libertarian transhumanists seek to remove legal impediments to exercising claimed rights to use advanced technologies to improve themselves and their offspring.
		Transhumanist philosophers argue that there not only exists an ethical imperative for humans to strive for progress and improvement of the human condition but that it is possible and desirable for humanity to enter a post-Darwinian phase of existence, in which humans are in control of their own evolution.
		Some transhumanists instead advocate a form of egalitarian liberal eugenics, arguing that the use of reproductive and genetic technologies to increase the probability of a healthy, happy, and multiply talented child is a responsible and justifiable application of parental reproductive rights.

		Transhumanists generally support present-day technologies such as human genetic engineering, cryonics, and advanced uses of computers and communications; as well as future technologies such as space travel, cloning and uploading of human minds into computer simulations.
		As transhumanists support non-technological improvements, such as the spread of political liberty, and most critics of transhumanism support technological advances in beneficial areas, such as communications and healthcare, the difference is sometimes a matter of emphasis.
		Transhumanists may characterize some of their opposition as Luddites, and point to such notorious examples as Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who was convicted of sending parcel bombs to prominent people in key technology industries, killing three people and severely wounding two others.

	CYDAILY.COM: Transhumanism
		There are, however, a number of transhumanists who follow liberal forms of Eastern philosophical traditions, and a minority of transhumanists who have merged their beliefs with established religions (such as Christian transhumanists).
		As most transhumanists support non-technological changes to society, such as the spread of political liberty and procreative liberty, and most critics of transhumanism support technological advances in areas such as communications and healthcare, the difference is often a matter of emphasis.
		Transhumanists and other supporters of emerging technologies, such as Bailey, deny the claim that life would be experienced as meaningless in a world with such technologies.

	Democratic Transhumanism
		Transhumanists, people who embrace technologies that extend and enhance regardless of their effect on “natural” life spans, limitations or social institutions, are the progressive end of the new biopolitical continuum.
		While transhumanists assert that all intelligent “persons” are deserving of rights, whether they are human or not, the biofundamentalists insist that only “humanness,” the possession of human DNA and a beating heart, is a marker of citizenship and rights.
		Democratic transhumanists should build solidarity with all those who are denied the right to control their own bodies and minds, and those oppressed because of the bodies and minds they possess.

		Progressive transhumanists anticipate the potential for future technologies and innovative social systems to improve quality of all life by eliminating congenital mental and physical barriers, while libertarian transhumanists seek to remove legal impediments to exercizing claimed rights to use advanced technologies to improve themselves and their offspring.
		Transhumanists therefore support the recognition of morphological freedom as a civil liberty in order for people to have the future choice of whether or not to become cyborg, transhuman or posthuman, which they see as the next significant evolutionary step for the human species.
		Transhumanists and other supporters of emerging technologies, such as Ronald Bailey, reject the claim that life would be experienced as meaningless in a world with such technologies.

		Many transhumanists are actively seeking to become transhuman or posthuman, which they claim is the next significant evolutionary step for the human species.
		Some transhumanists do advocate forms of liberal eugenics but many others distance themselves from this term (prefering reprogenetics instead) to avoid being mistakenly associated with the pseudoscientific and dehumanizing views and practices of early-20th-century eugenics movements.
		Some transhumanists also look to The Simulation Argument as a basis for a modern form of deism.

		Indeed, for those who are unfamiliar with the various speculations of many of today's leading futurists, the transhumanist agenda must seem awfully weird, possibly even grossly implausible, and for others, disgusting.
		And as far as the transhumanist "ethics" is concerned, most outside observers immediately draw comparisons to eugenics.
		Moreover, transhumanists -- with their principles firmly entrenched in rational, liberal democratic and progressive traditions -- are presenting a compelling, formidable and intellectually stimulating ethical framework.

	Transhumanism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		However, transhumanists say that a greater risk lies in not using genetic engineering and other emerging technologies, because present technologies threaten the environment [31] and large numbers of humans die from potentially solvable problems.
		The implication is that the potential benefits of enhancement technologies outweigh the potential harms, with the moral imperative, if any, being to use the technologies as quickly as possible.[32] Further, transhumanists add that "tampering with nature" is something that humans have done for millennia with every technology, with tangible benefits.
		[33] Some transhumanists argue that parents have a moral responsibility called procreative beneficence to make use of genetic engineering methods, assuming they are safe and effective, to have healthy children with maximum potential.

		Just as the art of the Futurists in the early part of the 20th century was always pushing a Futurist viewpoint, transhumanist or "extropic" art (the neologism "extropy" denotes the opposite of entropy) functions as a series of advertisements for the transhumanist vision of the future.
		In one column are a list of attributes of the "20th Century Human Body" ("Limited life span, inherited genes, gender-restricted, corrosion by irritability, envy, depression," etc.), and in another the attributes of the "21st Century Primo 3M+" ("Ageless, replaceable genes, upgrades, gender changeability, turbocharged optimism," etc.).
		The extropian is a transhumanist, but not all transhumanists are extropian.
