Transhumanist’s search for immortality vs. Christianity

February 7, 2024 by maria

Toni Svetejl

Abstract: Transhumanism, with its wish to transform the essence of human being, challenges anew the perennial discussion regarding the essence of human beings. If this transformation touches only the biological level of human existence, can we still talk about transformation? The idea of bringing humans to a higher level is also well-known in Christianity, not in terms of transformation, but in terms of salvation, which extends beyond the boundaries of biological existence. A Christian transformation does not approach human sin, pain, suffering, and death as external enemies, but as something that makes part of human existence without having the final word.
