Transhumanism and the Body: The World Religions Speak

3.7/5 ( ratings)

As a result of the fast-developing array of human enhancement therapies and technologies - commonly subsumed under the term "transhumanism" - the "flesh and blood" body of the human species may be significantly modified in the immediate future, or eventually eliminated, if some have their way. The proposed collection of original articles, a sequel of sorts to the 2009 Religion and the Implications of Radical Life Extension , is the first sustained reflection, by scholars with expertise in the faith traditions, on how the transhumanist agenda might impact the body.
