Macquarie University; Australia. true Transhumanism is an ideological movement that advo-cates the enhancement of human intellectual and phys-ical capacities through technological modification. Since it burst in the scene in the 1990s, its popularity has grown in inverse proportion to its relevance. How-ever, I believe that transhumanism has already failed to convince us that we must radically transform the hu-man condition, and its failure can offer some valuable reflections on the topic of human enhancement (HE).
