Posthuman"
is a term used by transhumanists to refer to what humans could
become if we succeed in using technology
to remove the limitations of the human condition. No one can be certain
exactly what posthumans would be like (there may be many differing types, and
they may continuing changing) but we can understand the term by contrasting
it with "human": Posthumans would be those who have overcome the
biological, neurological, and psychological constraints built into humans by
the evolutionary process. Posthumans would have a far greater ability to
reconfigure and sculpt their physical form and function; they would have an
expanded range of refined emotional responses, and would possess intellectual
and perceptual abilities enhanced beyond the purely human range. Posthumans
would not be subject to biological aging or degeneration. It would be
unrealistic to expect posthumans to be "perfect" by our standards.
What we can reasonably say is that posthumans would have greater potential
for good or bad, just as humans have greater potential than other primate species.
