Transhumanist 

Transhumanist

Someone who modifies their body in a way that turns them from a biological being called a homo sapien sapien into something, presumably better, and technically immortal.

This does not include prosthetics for people after accidents who only want to experience a somewhat normal mortal life.

You replace your arm with completely mechanical parts.

You implant computer parts into your brain to calculate mathematical problems faster. You are now Transhumanist.

You inject yourself with synthetic blood components that include stronger immunology, better termination of rogue cells and molecules, better gas transport. You are now a Transhumanist.

Transhumanist Party

A political party based on the principles and values of transhumanism.

The Transhumanist Party is an international political party movement that began in 2014.

Transhumanist States of America 

The Transhumanist States of America, shortened as H+SA, is a fictional country where the Transhumanist Party US takes power in the USA and turn the USA into a transhumanist country. The Transhumanist States of America are characterized by being a classical transhumanist country, despite with some elements of quantumism, technoquantumism, spiritualicism, extraphysicism and post-spacetimeism, where quantumism and technoquantumism are for the ones who doesn't want to become cyborgs nor androids but quantum beings and spiritualicism, extraphysicism and post-spacetimeism are heavily controlled and restricted only for technological-scientific research and for spiritual purposes with a libertarian economy and with state atheism, despite allowing spiritualicism, post-spacetimeism, psionicism, extraphysicism, divinialism and esoteric soulism but all of them being heavily regulated and restricted such as spiritual beliefs and religion are also restricted and regulated.

"Despite it's unlikely that the Transhumanist Party win the next elections, it's nice to think about the Transhumanist States of America to imagine how a transhumanist country would be like in practice."

Transhumanist Engineering

The discipline of designing, integrating, and maintaining the complex systems that enhance human biology. It's a fusion of biomedical engineering, robotics, computer science, and ethics. Practitioners don't just build a bionic arm; they solve the interface problem between silicon and nerve tissue, manage power systems for implanted devices, and write the OS that lets the brain control it all intuitively. It's engineering where the most critical component is a living, squishy, and unpredictable human being who wants to feel "normal" while being superhuman.

Example: "She's a transhumanist engineer. Her latest project is a bio-compatible battery that runs on glucose and oxygen from the bloodstream, powering a suite of internal sensors. The prototype works great, but the test subject now craves three extra candy bars a day." Transhumanist Engineering

Transhumanist Sciences

The interdisciplinary research that makes enhancement possible. This blends cutting-edge neuroscience (mapping the connectome), synthetic biology (writing genetic code for new traits), materials science (creating biocompatible scaffolds), and information theory (understanding consciousness as data). It's the foundational knowledge that asks: How do we safely merge mind and machine? How do we edit the genome without side effects? It's the "R&D" phase of human evolution, conducted in labs before it hits the showroom.

Example: "His lab in transhumanist sciences looks like a cyberpunk crime scene. They're mapping how motor cortex signals decay through a neural lace, while the biology team next door grows muscle tissue enhanced with carbon nanotubes. It's all for a 'voluntary upgrade' market that doesn't legally exist yet."

Transhumanist Technologies

The toolbox for upgrading Homo sapiens from a biological default to a customizable platform. These are the devices, implants, and software designed to enhance human capabilities beyond natural limits. Think neural interfaces for direct brain-to-web browsing, advanced prosthetics stronger and more sensitive than biological limbs, retinal displays that overlay data on reality, and gene therapies for boosted cognition or immunity. It's not about treating illness, but about elective improvement—turning the human body into a project with swappable parts and downloadable skills.

*Example: "He showed up to the pick-up game with transhumanist tech: myoelectric ankle implants for perfect jumps and a cortical link that gave him a 10% reaction time boost. We still beat him because he spent the whole time tweaking his settings and forgot to pass the ball."* Transhumanist Technologies

Transhumanism 

A movement supporting the use of reason, science and technology to advance and enhance human abilities and existence under optimal conditions. Can be see as an extension of humanism, but with much more emphasis on the future. Transhumanists believe that we should try to overcome our biological limitations thru the use of such things as nanotechnology, cryonics, AI, mind uploading, space-time engineering, eugenics, and what not in order to become posthuman.

The goal of transhumanism to become more than human.
