Document Summary

Helping people with disabilities being test pilots to function as able bodies (to be able to stand up again, to be able to use the arms) c. iii. The example of artificial body: transhumanism is the idea that we can enhance our bodies beyond normal means through science and technology as displayed in the movie. Examples of transhumanism from the movie is limiting disability as we see the man who climbed mountains turn his disability into able bodies. Taking normal and pushing it beyond as with his artificial legs he was able to climb even better. Overall the idea that we are always trying to enhance our bodies. My perspective on transhumanism is just the idea that i don"t feel this is the best thing for human race. When we try to do our bodies against its natural will then in my opinion we create chaos (a rat rase).
