The Trouble With Transhumanism

from What It Means to Be Human · host Wesley Smith

There is a new religion spreading across the globe. It is called transhumanism. Transhumanists believe that natural humans aren’t good enough, smart enough, strong enough, athletic enough, beautiful enough, or genetically diverse enough. They reject the very idea of normal, indeed, of there being any virtue at all in remaining fully human. Let's look at what exactly transhumanists want, and what the trouble is with transhumanism.
