Transhumanism is a philosophy and movement that aims to enhance human capabilities through technologies like genetic engineering, cybernetics, and nanotechnology. Transhumanists believe these technologies could be used to reduce suffering, extend healthy lifespans, and improve cognitive abilities and physical capacities beyond what is naturally human. However, some argue these technologies could worsen social inequalities or be used to coercively modify humans without consent. The ethical implications and potential risks and benefits of emerging technologies are an ongoing topic of debate among philosophers, scientists, and transhumanists.
