Transhumanism
Transhumanism is a movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities. Transhumanism regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable. Transhumanists debate and challenge the moral limits of "human-enhancement-technologies," viewing biotechnologies and other emerging technologies as evolutionary forces with the capacity to change "human nature" itself. 1
Transhumanism (i.e., human+) is another battle in the "Long War Against God". In the Protestant Church, Billy Graham's Lausanne Committee for World Evangelism (LCWE) "Occasional Paper No. 58" stands firmly against Transhumanism. 3 In the Catholic Church, the Vatican's Dignitas Personae (The Dignity of a Person) likewise stands firmly against Transhumanism. 4 In my opinion, the Apostle Paul helps us understand the heart of the matter in Romans 1:21,22 (KJV) when he says: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [And] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
