    Transhumanism, a social and philosophical movement devoted to promoting the research and development of robust human-enhancement technologies, is a term originally coined by English biologist and philosopher Julian Huxley in his 1957 essay of the same name. But what would such technologies lead us to today as they attempt to augment/increase human sensory reception, emotive ability, cognitive capacity, etc. In this class, we will examine the perils of a transhumanist, technoscientific agenda of genetic manipulations and other technological enhancements, to create a so-called “superman” that undermines our very human existence and its divine potentialities.
