[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 92390, member: 4804"] Posting the information here, and occasionaly googling to see if the second hash shows up, is pretty much the entire experiment, so it's been going for a while now. A transhumanist is basically someone who thinks it's okay to modify and augment the body/mind with technology. That's anything from taking antibiotics to cure a disease, to replacing your eyes with electronic ones that can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum, to uploading your consciousness to a computer. Remember the guy whose prosthetic legs allowed him to run faster than a normal human? (Other disadvantages aside) Some people are willing to jump on the technology as soon as it appears, but personally I'd rather wait for safety tests and less visible technology like nanomachines, rather than chopping off a limb and replacing it with a metal one. Nanotech is already well on its way, so I won't have to wait for than a few decades. Once you get into the realm of completely synthetic bodies, though, there's literally no limit on what you can look like or be. In a few centuries, a significant portion of humans will look nothing like they do today, even if you ignore the impending technological Singularity. The opposite of a transhumanist is someone who thinks replacing parts of the body will somehow render you "soulless", unfeeling, etc. I don't believe that though. Plenty of amputees with prosthetics are still emotional, loving humans. [/QUOTE]
