Transhumanism (often rendered as H+ or h+) is a philosophy which seeks to use advance technology in order to augment the human condition, as well as encourage the usage of emerging technology. This often includes hypothetical or nascent technologies such as digital immortality, advance cybernetics, and cryogenics.[1]
The ultimate goals of proponents of Transhumanism are often that of preparing for things such as the technological singularity, which Transhumanists often claim to be both inevitable and beneficial to humanity, contributing to developing social scientific fields such as futurology, attempting to gain some form of immortality, or otherwise some remedy for biological aging in the near-future, and researching hypothetical threats and rewards to that many new technologies could bring to humanity.[2]
