Transhumanism is often understood by scientific and technological enthusiasts as an expression of the innate human desire to excel, to develop onefaculties and abilities to become better adapted to face adversities of the outside environment. On the other hand, it may also be perceived as a potentially proud attempt on the side of fragile humans to become more independent, invulnerable, and even immortal.
