Is transhumanism the future of human progress?

A. There are those who would argue that there is always room for improvement, which is why we have things like plastic surgery and anabolic steroids to enhance our bodies and their performance. However, while this has become more of a viable choice, this is not the normal, naturally-progressive way to go. To think we can supplement or supplant the human with a new and better version of our own making is more than just playing God; it is playing at trying to make science fiction a reality. Sure there are living examples of transhumanism around now, but we do not know the long-term effects. We have taken our human abilities beyond just making our lives better. For example, It is not just a matter of plastic surgery in the case of breast… [cont.]

Why do people consider both Idealism and Transhumanism horrible things?
Q. Those ideologies are disliked for denouncing the current human body, even though Transhumanism is materialistic and the opposite of Idealism. Plato, Socrates, Schopenhauer and Buddha seem to be the only ones who realized the body is the source of endless trouble. I am tired of this Doublethink, people are too proud of their bodies and bully the handicapped, yet all humans have the same anatomy. I mean, Haven't people even smell themselves, or pay attention to medical bills? Source(s): Common sense

A. Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of the flower unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth. George MatthewAdams

What are your thoughts on transhumanism?
Q. Whether bionic or organic, a world of trans-humans seems so foreign yet it is a reality to be seen in the very near future. I think the consensus is that it has to be controlled, but human history has shown that there is nothing that can be completely controlled.

The consequences of losing control could be devastating.

A. I'm of the mind that technology almost never actually "improves" things, and I would much rather that we left biological entities the way nature makes them. Technology (and its misuse) has brought us to our current state of overharvesting "resources" (aka other organisms), polluting our air and water, littering inner space with satellites, etc. However, for more reading on this topic, visit this Wikipedia entry (it has lots of cited references to go to afterwards):

So this would all be consistent. But notice that you needed to specify "involuntary death," and not death per se. Fact is, if there were no death, we would be extremely miserable, because the world would quickly become over-crowded beyond all reason. Death is a necessary part of our circumstances at this time. Once space travel and other methods of expansion (possibly including some sort of teleportation) are developed sufficiently, we could all live as long as we wanted to. We can't now.

A. idk if this is a serious question or not so i'll just go with serious: I don't think Transhumanism is a form of eugenics. Supporting science and techonology doesn't really have anything to do with selective breeding with the goal of improving the species. Unless.. you use transhumanism to do eugenics...
