transhumanist
Beyond-biology movement follower
A transhumanist advocates for using technology to transcend human biological limitations—extending lifespan, enhancing cognitive abilities, or merging with machines.
The movement envisions a future where humans evolve beyond current physical and mental constraints: Transhumanists see aging as a disease to be cured.
As an adjective, it describes ideas aligned with this philosophy: transhumanist ethics, transhumanist literature.
