In theory, transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement that advocates for using technology to enhance human capabilities and overcome limitations such as aging and disease. It envisions a future where humans are augmented through various technologies, potentially leading to significant transformations in our understanding of humanity itself. While proponents see it as a path to a better future, critics raise concerns about social equity, ethics, and the potential loss of what makes us human.
It is presumed that technological enhancements will be used to improve physical and cognitive abilities, such as extending lifespan, enhancing memory, or boosting physical strength. However, at the same time, the concept suggests a future point where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, fundamentally altering society. Ethical concerns are raised about human nature, dignity, and equality, particularly regarding access to these technologies and their potential impact on society.
