Il '''Transhumanism''' (sometimes abbreviated '''>H''' or '''H+''') is an international intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of new [[science]]s and [[technology|technologies]] to enhance human [[cognition|cognitive]] and [[human anatomy|physical]] abilities and [[meliorism|ameliorate]] what it regards as undesirable and unnecessary aspects of the [[human condition]], such as [[disease]] and [[aging]]. Transhumanist thinkers study the possibilities and consequences of developing and using [[human enhancement]] techniques and other [[emerging technologies]] for these purposes. Possible dangers, as well as benefits, of powerful new technologies that might radically change the conditions of human life are also of concern to the transhumanist movement.<ref name="Bostrom 2005">{{cite paper| author = [[Nick Bostrom|Bostrom, Nick]]| title = A history of transhumanist thought| date = 2005 | url = http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/history.pdf| accessdate=2006-02-21}}</ref>
Although the first known use of the term "transhumanism" dates from 1957, the contemporary meaning is a product of the 1980s, when a group of scientists, artists, and [[Futures studies|futurists]] based in the United States began to organize what has since grown into the transhumanist movement. Transhumanist thinkers postulate that [[human|human beings]] will eventually be [[transhuman|transformed]] into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "[[Posthuman (Human evolution)|posthuman]]".<ref name="Bostrom 2005"/>
