Summary/Abstract: Transhumanism is a modern philosophy that is based on the belief that human nature is evolving over time not only because of Darwin’s natural evolution (Bowler, 2003, p. 16) but also because of social impacts and technical innovations. The philosophy is based on many historical forerunners, for example, Nietzsche’s famous idea that a human is just a rope between an animal and posthuman or Fedorov’s idea about the possibility of immortality (Semenova & Gacheva, 2006).
