Free Reflection 2 (Transhumanism)


People of the Future

Transhumanism is an intellectual and a popular movement that aims to enhance human intellectually, physically and psychologically by developing high technologies. Even today, Transhumanism has some common daily practices. 

One is cyborg which means a being that has both organic and biomechatronic parts. This sounds very futuristic but actually it is not because mechanical parts are commonly used by many people now. For example, one who has hearing loss can hear properly with hearing-aid. Also, there are contact lenses, vision restoring devices and vision prostheses for the people experiencing seeing problems like myopic and astigmatic. 

Another practice is body modification. It is the deliberate alteration of the physical appearance for some reasons. To illustrate, some people have piercing and tattoos to show their passions and styles. In some cultures, neck rings which prolong the neck are very important for their belief. Apart from all these, some people desire to impress the people around them. For instance, breast implant is very popular among some women as they want to look more attractive. In addition, some people have subdermal implant to demonstrate their body art and create shock. These are some common daily practices of Transhumanism. 


In conclusion, it is obvious that Transhumanism will be more common in the future.
