Transhumanism is a philosophical and scientific movement advocating the use of the latest technologies to expand human capabilities and improve human living conditions.
Transhumanists envision a future in which the application of such technologies will allow people to slow, reverse or eliminate the aging process, achieve an appropriate increase in life expectancy, and increase a person's cognitive and sensory abilities.
The movement suggests that people with enhanced capabilities are evolving into an improved species that will transcend humanity - the "post-human."
