Transhumanism and the Desire for Immortality

Transhumanism is the belief that humans can transcend their biological limitations and achieve immortality through the use of advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence. However, this desire for immortality through technology raises important questions about the uniqueness and value of the individual. While transhumanists argue that the mind is software and can be sustained after the body's demise, critics highlight the importance of embodied existence and self-awareness in human identity. They argue that true fulfillment and creativity come from embracing individuality and going beyond the given, rather than seeking amalgamation or erasure of differences.
