Transhumanism

Aging, suffering, and cognitive limits are problems to improve, not a destiny to accept.

What it claims

Transhumanism favors using technology to extend human physical, cognitive, and emotional capacities substantially. Julian Huxley (1957) popularized the term, and Bostrom developed influential contemporary formulations. Two central claims are that human nature is an unfinished project open to improvement and that no principled boundary separates therapy from enhancement.
