title: Is transhumanism a humanism?
abstract: "Transhumanism" refers to a nebula of ideas where serious arguments are neighbouring with fantasy. It is not difficult to select texts and statements to discredit it. The author's approach is constructive, for he thinks transhumanism is worth attention. It provides the possibility to articulate in a coherent way a wide range of ideas and issues: anthropological, epistemological, ethical, political and even ontological scattered over bioethical debates. This was already undertaken in the late 1990s, with the creation of "The World Transhumanist Association" (WTA).
