                        The path towards transhumanism has been marred with disagreements among the several theorists or proponents of transhumanism on the issue of the most secure or most comfortable path to advance this goal although it is enough to reckon that the general outline is already clear. The general outline is the put into use of scientific and technological knowhow and advanced skills to advance the depths of human existence in areas such as genetic engineering and the introduction of both robotics as well as nanotechnology.

                          The focus of transhumanism is also depicted to have at its core such matters like enhancement of artificial intelligence and other century born technological sophistication that will aid the achievement of perceived relief to mankind by eliminating such problems like diseases and death itself as well as to induce an artificial state of happiness or fantasy to humanity as a whole.

                           It is also estimated that the general fulfillment of the specific dreams mentioned above will only mark the beginning of this new era of scientific and technological revolution as well as the start of what the newly acquired or invented powers will make possible. The end is bound to be limitless and the phase of human existence and the global structure will experience an undefined overhaul in terms of how the new intelligence can be embodied and what exactly it can accomplish.
