Biological immortalism is the idea of transhumanising the human body subject to certain limits. Relatively mainstream ideas like life extension or healthspan fall within this concept..
Some adherents reject or are otherwise sceptical of the radical nature of posthuman transhumanism.
Permissible technologies
- Nano technology
- Cloning
- Cryonics
- Nootropics
- Genetic engineering
- Limited self modification
- Life extension
Excessive technologies
Advocates prefer to 'draw the line' at more radical approaches associated with posthuman transhumanism:
In fiction
Conflict between biological immortalists and posthuman transhumanists is a major theme of the Shaper/Mechanist universe.
