Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+) is an international intellectual movement focused on transforming the human condition through advanced technologies designed to enhance both intellectual and physical capacities.
Transhumanists view death as a disease to be cured, and they believe it may be possible for humans to achieve agelessness. This belief drives the quest for immortality.
Currently, scientists are working on extending human life to support deep space exploration, including missions to the closest stars. Research in this area is ongoing.
Just as plastic surgery was once an expensive and niche practice but has become more accessible and popular, so too will life-extending technologies. In the future, these technologies are expected to become widely available and affordable, potentially making them a trend among the elite.
Enhancing our abilities through technology is part of our very nature. Throughout history, we have developed tools and innovations—such as language, the knife, the control of fire, mathematics, phones, and the internet—that have defined and advanced our species. Embracing technology is intrinsic to what it means to be human.
