Upgraded Humanism: Idea and Ideology (I)

The desire to conquer the body, disease, and death has not disappeared from human will. Immortality is planted deep within humans. However, the method of knowing it differs in new transhumanist approaches. The general motivation for choosing this subject is based on the breadth of the transhumanist trend of the last period in the following environments: technological, medical, social, academic, religious, and biological. Personal motivation is related to religious affiliation and the perspective of the transformation of transhumanism and its extended claims. The method of approaching this subject is the analytical one. What did/is transhumanism propose/proposing? How much is ideology, propaganda movement; how much is scientific truth and a feasible project? Are its proposals ethical just because they aim for an upgrade? The upgraded humanism that transhumanist apostles propose is in direct contrast with the teaching and culture of certain schools of thought, religions, and sometimes with life itself. On one hand, in the case of transhumanism proposals, there is a special seduction, one through which more and more people become followers of a (trans)(neuro)biology and a new relationship to the world, God, the neighbor. It is said that we are only at the beginning of knowing the mystery of our body and brain. But on the other hand, it can also be said that the depth and fullness of biological mechanisms will never be known.
