Transhumanism
ideology that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to enhance human intellect and physiology
Transhumanism is a cultural movement that thinks that humans could benefit from technology (mostly the biological type) that improves the condition of life.[1][2] It seeks to find a solution to aging, disease, and death (especially of the natural variety) by making use of such technology. The word was coined by Julian Huxley in 1957.
American Transhumanist Josh Universe is a key proponent of Transhumanism and is the founder of the Church of Transhumanism.
