The French Transhumanist Association – Technoprog stimulates public discourse on questions relating to the current changes in the biological and social circumstances of humankind. Our goal is to improve these circumstances, in particular by radically extending healthy lifespan. We seek to promote those technologies that facilitate these transformations, while advocating preservation of the environment, and careful attention to health risks, all in the interest of social justice.

Each year brings its share of major scientific and technical advances, and with them new questions and issues. In recent decades, these advances have begun to challenge long-held notions of human identity, pushing us to search for a new conception of humanism. These developments make clear what many philosophers have asserted:

The human being is neither fixed nor predetermined, from a philosophical or biological point of view. Is it not in the truest humanist tradition to uphold that human identity and nature depend on what we desire to make of them?
