Transhumanism should be embraced by humanity
Transhumanism should be embraced by humanity
There is an inbuilt feeling somewhere in a corner of every person to live forever. Humans search for immortality and perfection. This idea was termed as Transhumanism. There are many authors who argued that Transhumanism is a study that should be removed completely while there are many others who believe that it should be carefully monitored and studied. The pursuit of Transhumanism can have both negative and positive impacts in future. Do you think Transhumanism should be embraced by humanity?
Yes
• It is a visionary study that will strengthen the human race and help them in their search of life on other galaxies and planets.
• There will be extension of knowledge and will lead to a world where material items will no longer be valuable compared to the common person.
• Transhumanism can improve the quality of life especially in medical terms. Human race can have multiple solutions to overcome their physical weaknesses.
• It is going to be the trend of the future that will be based on nanotechnology, bionic implants and manipulation.
• When human race will extend their consciousness through technology, they can effectively eliminate the destructive and negative aspects of human nature.
No
• It is not wise to play against the nature and it can be harmful and backfire to human race in all possible aspects.
• Transhumanism is not must to overcome diseases as even without it researchers can be able to discover new treatments and cure to fight deadly diseases. There is no need for augmentation.
• It will lead to rise in healthcare costs. The standard of life can improve but then it will be only for the rich and wealthy people.
• Making changes in human brain will make it a slave that can be controlled by remote control.
• Illegal elements can use the re-argumentation process of humans and reversing their positive thinking to negative thinking.
Conclusion
Transhumanization can be used in many positive areas especially in medical field. However it paves way for measures that can result only in short-term solutions to wipe out health problems in the society. It is not a fundamentally sound concept in longer-term. Whatever good it will yield will vanish affecting the existence of life on planet.

- Tranchumanization is transforming the human intellect with technology. Any artificially produced thing would eventually perish. When the game of technology is played at a higher level, not only the high risk factors prevail but human beings tend to get addicted and gradually become dependent on them. This dependence creates a widespread devastation when the mechanism face their natural wear and tear.
Through transchumanization, human beings are getting ready to experiment the highest factor of life form, the intelligence or rather the alterations in sixth sense. Yes, the technology might yield some good knowlwdge and innovative studies, it might also help in making a few miraculous treatment approach in medical field; but we should not forget the fact that playing with nature is much hazardeous. The changes that the technolgy create on the human intellecf may alao take a negative turn and lead to total destruction of human race.
It would be better if the study is kept apart from influencing the thinking and intellectual capabilities of human beings which is the most unique gift of nature's creations. Human beings have already played a lot with nature through various scientific inventions and are also bearing their negative impacts, for e.g. the hole in the ozone layer which is irrepairable. If we don't want to face even worse complications, then it would be better not to let tranchumanization embrace humanity
