I accessed this source from my home on June 1 2014. 6. Speaker- author, Occasion- written to present benefits and dangers of Transhumanism, Audience- people, Purpose- to illiterate to humanity the possible benefits and cons associated with the movement, subject- Transhumanism, and tone- critical. 7. This source is about the benefits and dangers about Transhumansim. Transhumanists seek to achieve these lofty and not-so-lofty goals by integrating advanced technologies with the human body, as well as preparing the same bodies for yet-to-emerge technologies developed in the near future. The belief held by proponents of transhumanism is that humans will eventually transgress the boundaries of biological evolution via man-made technologies in an attempt to enter a post-humanistic phase. They aspire for the human race to gain expanded physical and mental capabilities to improve the quality of all sentient life drastically. 8. The purpose that the author claim's to make is that he wants individuals to understand that Transhumanists want to make the human race physically and mentally advanced as possible. There are dangers however. 9. I was persuaded a lot due to the information he presented which seemed to appeal to my ethos. Bailey, counters that it is the "movement that epitomises the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity!"
 * 1.What are the benefits and dangers associated with Transhumanism?
 * 10. Transhumanistic thought promotes the coupling of innovative new technologies and human biology in fields like cybernetics, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and modification, nano-technology and cryonics.
 * Innovations in Bio, Info and Nano (BIN) emerging technologies have allowed for the widespread use and development of cellular devices, as well as portable personal effects like smaller hearing-aids, miniscule pacemakers or personal entertainment modules.
 * Futuristic developments in the fields of biotechnology, genetics engineering and cryonics may lead to designer babies with perfect facial features, or persons being frozen, thawed, revived, and rejuvenated years after supposed death
 * Transhumanism has been described by one critic, Francis Fukuyama, as the world's most dangerous idea, while one proponent, Ronald
 * Transhumanism regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable. It aims to: 1. Reduce the affects of disability or physical ailment by providing seamlessly integrated enhancements with longevity; 2. Limiting the duration of injury; 3. Reducing suffering; and 4. Achieving a semblance of immortality of person and/or personality!

1. What are the benefits and Dangers of Transhumanism? 2. The problems of Transhumanism 3.Prof. Massimo Pigliucci- author 4.http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.com/2009/07/problems-with-transhumanism.html 5. I accessed this blog from my home and on June 1 6. Speaker-author, Occasion- to present issues with the movement, Audience-people, Purpose- To talk about overpopulation lack of resources, Subject- Transhumanism, Tone-Critical 7. The source is about issues with the movement. Overpopulation and lack of resources are the dangers with the movement. 8. The author's main point is to show how Trans-humanists want to increase health and age but ultimately this is bad because we need to die because of evolution and also to preserve resources for the next generation.
 * 9. There are several problems with the pursuit of immortality, one of which is particularly obvious. If we all live (much, much) longer, we all consume more resources and have more children, leading to even more overpopulation and environmental degradation.
 * We simply don’t have space, water and other prime materials to feed a forever exponentially increasing population. Arguably, it is precisely technology that created the problem of overpopulation, as the original agricultural revolution (the one that happened a few thousand years ago) lead to cycles of boom and bust and to the rapid spread of disease in crowded cities
 * “One of the key goals of transhumanism is to get the most advanced and useful technology to developing countries, allowing them to skip industrialization (and the pollution/waste associated) and go straight into late capitalist, post-industrial society, where population growth is negative and mortality rates extremely low.” Besides the fact that with the current global economic meltdown a late capitalist society doesn’t really sound that appealing"
 * He says that “any technology that would extend life beyond the current average of 70-100 would do so by retarding aging as a whole."
