Abstract

When considering Christians and transhumanists the misperceptions and uncharitable assumptions go both ways. Christians who are interested in engaging transhumanists and emerging conversations in the culture about transhumanism, must learn a new vocabulary and develop ways to thoughtfully engage the issues being raised. Christians bring valuable resources to the conversation about what it means to be human, equitable access to technologies and therapies developed and the morality or ethics of some proposals. Transhumanists need Christian input and Christians need to engage this conversation. This a primer for the conversational apologetics necessary at the intersection of Christianity and Transhumanism.
