From my personal point of view, I think TRANSHUMANISM is a new vision that implies many ideas about how might be the future based on a movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve the mental and physical characteristics of the future humans.It also refers to the improvement of the memory, concentration, and other humans capacities.
Many people agree or disagree with this "strange" ideas either for their religions or personal concepts. Transhumanists propose that everybody should have the option to use such means to enhance various dimensions of their cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being. Those people that disagree with this term think that is the world’s most dangerous idea because it nothing less than to liberate the human race from its biological constraints. For example, Francis Fukuyama is totally against of all this concepts. His arguments depends on three assumptions: (1) there is a unique “human essence”; (2) only those individuals who have this mysterious essence can have intrinsic value and deserve equal rights; and (3) the enhancements that transhumanists advocate would eliminate this essence. From this words, he infers that the transhumanist project would destroy the basis of equal rights.
I can also mention, Ronald Bailey that countered that "it is rather the movement that epitomizes the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity"
Now, I personally think that Transhumanism can help us in some ways, but at the same time can destroy us by contradicting the sense of nature, and being humans it's the most admirable miracle that I know about.

ReplyDeleteI think Transhumanism is something that affirms the posibility to do that a part of the human life that is aging be done. This technologies going eliminate aging and the human going be intellectual. The people that want to do this are studing the potential benefits or issue of emerging technologies that will create people that will think and be like superhumans. In my opinion this is a good idea because all people will not think in last time.

ReplyDeleteTranshumanism is something like transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging, also is something that may help to the humans to think better, also to have a better condition physical and psychological.
The people that are agree say, that is good technology for the humans because the human would have many options than the people that don't use that technology. Because if the people would use it, they may have better physical well being and better knowledge.
But the people that disagree with this technology think that is a bad idea because it might bring trouble in the humans system because the humans are only in the world but if you create or mixture some technology with someone, that would not a humans if not other things.
Well, I think it would be a good option for the humans but to the same time it would be a bad idea because in the positive part this technology might help us to have a better physical, a better brain and other things but we have to know that the humans are only. In others words it is not a great technology.
Well this is how I see this, Transhumanism is probably a way that we can generate the future, now even though it has some slight disadvantages, we can make the most of it by applying ourselves to it. Yes it's true that it can destroy us, but we have to see it though cause anything can happen in the near future...

ReplyDelete2- A good amount of people believe this to be a good idea cause that way people with problems like for example amputees they have a chance to be complete
3- I don't think anyone will be against it because its a technology and technology is there to help our everyday life.

1- Transhumanism, abbreviated as H+ or h+, is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.
ReplyDelete2-Transhumanism is a class of philosophies that seek to guide us towards a posthuman condition. Transhumanism shares many elements of humanism, including a respect for reason and science, a commitment to progress, and a valuing of human xistence in the life.
3-In my opinion Transhumanism is the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity.

I think that Transhumanism is the improvement of the human being through the use of applied science and other rational methods, that may make possible the increase of the human health-span, extend our intellectual and physical capacities.Many people say that this is a great idea because it's the most daring, courages, imaginative, and idealistic aspiration of humanity. In my opinion I think that Transhumanism it's not a great idea because humans will not longer be restricted to anything and will be able to do anything and no one can stop them.

I think transhumanism is a great way to help us replace our weak points such health problems or life spam,but I also think is another way to destroy our society if we don't control it the way it should be controlled.I don't like the fact that it is not a natural way of living(at least for now,for what we know as life)
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion I don't like the term so much because I like the way we use technology today and I wouldn't like to turn this way in the future.

In my personal opinion I dont like this because it can be dangerous for the human beign.
I think Transhumanism is a way to make a perfect human being, but at the point that we become perfect we will stop being humans, we will become mostly a machine. I don't agree with this idea.Why? Becouse nature is smart, she made us in a perfect way to life in earth and relate with each other so we shouldn't alterate that. Can anybody imaging being perfect, anybody will die but people will keep doing children so the world will be overload.

i thinking about humankind's future has begun to take shape among some leading computer scientists, neuroscientists, nanotechnologists and researchers at the forefront of technological development. The new paradigm rejects a crucial assumption that is implicit in both traditional futurology and practically all of today's political thinking. This is the assumption that the "human condition" is at root a constant. Present-day processes can be fine-tuned; wealth can be increased and redistributed; tools can be developed and refined; culture can change, sometimes drastically; but human nature itself is not up for grabs.

-I think transhumanism is a concept created by man to improve mental and physical abilities to correct human conditions such as pain, suffering, disease, aging and even death.
ReplyDelete-Those in favor of transhumanism are people who lack faith, many of them believe that the human brain has some sort of hardware compatibility implies that consciousness might someday be transferred to an alternative base
-Some of those who oppose transhumanism are religious people who do not believe in the possible existence of a human life to be created not by God.
-In my personal opinion I do not agree with transhumanism because I believe that artificial life is a good option and I think it is impossible that this man in the hands of a creation of the human race that does not suffer from pain, suffering, and much less than might exist eternally, in my opinion I strongly disagree with transhumanism.

ReplyDelete1. Transhumanism is the position defended by the improvement of the human being to achieve a higher state or posthuman.
2. Transhumanists defend the ability to make decisions about their own lives and their own bodies. They claim that each of us owns his own life. Maintain a position in favor of improving the human with the language of reason and humanism.
3.The who are against this technology think is one of the world's most dangerous thoughts since the human essence would be altered by these changes and to give rise to a flagrant attack on the dignity.
4. My opinion is that no technology could change the lives of human beings and their dignity, with only love in the hearts and loving our neighbors could change the facts of humanity.

ReplyDelete2-People agree are in most those who think that man can improve the quality of life through some mechanism.
3-People who disagree are the religious who believe that only God has the power to improve the systematic life of individuals and their power can only disappear with the anguish, pain, disease and death of people.

I think trans-humanism, is nothing more than a machine with artificial intelligence, which would render us. I disagree with this new technology because human intelligence is not changed for nothing, but it is also a machine that respects neither the rights nor the duty of humans.

ReplyDelete-I think it is a good idea because it would make life easier by giving people skills to overcome their own limits, provided they do not harm people in any way
Transhumanism is the belief that we can, and should, try to overcome our biological limitations by means of reason, science, and technology. Transhumanists seek things like intelligence augmentation, increased strength and beauty.
ReplyDeletePeople who are in favor are mostly people with open mind and they think this is a new way of living and of course a better way. Other people do not agree with the same idea this people believe that there is a unique “human essence” and transhumanism would totally destroy this essence. The majority of the people who disagree is because of their religion, because they think god didn't make us to live for ever or for all to be perfect.
I'm a teenager but yet I feel like an open minded person I support the idea of transhumanism I think is a great idea and the person who created this was pretty into new stuff from the future. I believe we can try a new life, we always have to be open to any decision or option.

ReplyDelete2-because in some way those who are in favor explained that every human being owns his own life and is in deciding how they live them ...-
3-those who are against humanity explain that would be altered because they are creating something supernatural, the body was created in a way so the nature is unique and we knew if we were so devoted to that should have been for something
4-for I am not in some way either for or against, I think that's something our bodies go through these processes of transformation, as I imagine that the world is a certain way fun and interesting people must exist advantaged more than others. but I also believe that everyone lives his life as he wants and it is good that there are options that help us feel good for some way with ourselves, in our power alone is actually decide how we want to live our lives

ReplyDeleteTranshumanism is a blanket term given to the school of thought that refuses to accept traditional human limitations such as death, disease and other biological frailties. Transhumans are typically interested in a variety of futurist topics, including space migration, mind uploading and cryonic suspension. Transhumans are also extremely interested in more immediate subjects such as bio- and nano-technology, computers and neurology. Transhumans deplore the standard paradigms that attempt to render our world comfortable at the sake of human fulfillment. Life needn't be an exclusively biological phenomenon; transhumans capitalize on this revolutionary notion by experimenting with "cyborging" and artificial intelligence. The most radical countercultural spin-off of postmodernism, transhumans challenge collective assumptions about what it is to be human. Eliany Fernandez , Period# 4
