  • Essay / Essay on Transhumanism by Fukuyama - 731

    What do you think would happen if you gave a child a cybernetic arm? He then challenges the reader's perception by asking, "...do transhumans really understand ultimate human goods?" He believes that a person who modifies their body with biotechnology should no longer be considered human, simply because Fukuyama believes that what makes a human "human" is the fact that we have the ability to process emotions such as love, sadness, fear, anger, envy, gluttony, anger and happiness. Fukuyama believes that this is only possible because of a normal blood body, because we can only treat those who feel the same way because of the perception we apply to ourselves. If we lose this perception or change it, we may lose the ability to feel these emotions. Fukuyama then repeats his question “Are trans humans still human?” or are they empty shells of apocalypse
