What do opponents of transhumanism say the danger is?
Opponents of transhumanism raise several concerns and potential dangers. Here are some of the key arguments against transhumanism:
Inequality and social division:
- Enhanced humans might create a new class divide between the "enhanced" and "unenhanced"
- Access to enhancement technologies could be limited to the wealthy, exacerbating existing inequalities
Loss of human identity and nature:
- Radical enhancements might fundamentally alter what it means to be human
- Concern over losing essential aspects of the human experience or humanity itself
