The development of emerging biotechnologies is on the verge of redesigning the boundaries of human existence. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), radical life extension, neuroenhancements, and bionic limbs constitute only few instances of technologies that could potentially allow transcending human biological limitations. Among the strongest proponents of these emerging technologies, transhumanists seek the radical removal of the constraints of our bodies and brains and the reconfiguration of human existence according to technological opportunities. But transhumanism is more than a techno-scientific project. It is also an ideological one with particular assumptions rooted in Enlightenment philosophies. This special issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy provides an overview of the origin, the nature, and the aims of the transhumanist movement as well as a critical assessment.
