How Transhuman Is Someone?
This article articulates the details of the rating system we will be using for public figures in terms of their apparent inclinations to transhumanist thought.

I am a transhumanist sympathizer who incorporates H+ with a critical eye.

As a Transhumanist Organization ethics should be above reproach. One of the key issues is we don’t want even…
