How about it?

Transhumanism is a philosophical and technological movement that seeks to enhance and transform the human condition through the use of advanced technologies such as genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology.
While traditional humanism focuses on human potential and improvement through education, culture, and ethics, transhumanism takes a more scientific and technological approach to enhancing human abilities and extending human lifespan.
Transhumanism advocates believe that by merging technology with human biology, we can overcome many of the limitations of our current human bodies and minds. This could lead to increased intelligence, improved physical abilities, and even the elimination of diseases and disabilities.
Some people have raised concerns about the potential consequences of transhumanism, such as creating a divide between those who can afford advanced technologies and those who cannot, or the loss of what it means to be human. There are also concerns about the potential misuse of these technologies and the implications for social and political systems.
While some aspects of transhumanism, such as genetic engineering and prosthetics, are already being used in medical and scientific fields, the full scope of transhumanism is still in its early stages of development. However, there are ongoing discussions and research in various fields related to transhumanism.
