AB - With the advent of the transhuman age the changes in our mechanistic society raise numerous ethical implications. These changes are expected to lead to a loss of organic value for the human body in future societies. Above all, in the transhuman age, the human body pursues biological perfection. According to A.N. Whitehead, organic beings establish a continuous relationship between self and other through the process of creation and extinction. Organic beings are subjects who experience the past, present, and future. They go through a process of ‘creative advance’ toward the future. Organic beings are subjects of experience who lead a process of change that is different from that of machines.
In Christianity, the perfection of the human body does not lie in biological immortality. The fragile human body, trapped in sin, is perfected through relationships. This article critiques the biological perfection of the body emerging in the era of transhumanism. Furthermore, the perfection of the body is rediscovered not in the augmentation of biological functions, but in the organic relationship between God, humanity, and nature.
