transhuman

More than human; superhuman.

Turning fallible human foot soldiers into transhuman machines who need neither sleep nor food, and are incapable of resistance and independent thought, is a Napoleonic dream .

A template for those who will become transhuman.

Related to transhumanism.

I believe that this is important, because taken in isolation the kind of enhancements portrayed by transhuman philosophers might seem relatively innocuous.

The transhuman ideal is based upon a reconception of evolution, a perfecting and transcending of the human race through the next step in progress: not through biological mutation but through science and technology.

Involving something beyond the merely human; transcending human limitations or boundaries.

Near-synonym: posthuman (sometimes synonymous)

This "other world" is transcendent because the experience of the sacred—an encounter with a reality transcending immanent life—gives birth to the idea that there are absolute, that is, transhuman, realities.

An enhanced human:

In the same way that a transhuman is a transitional human, Christians are also humans in transition, living in a kingdom that has come and yet is coming, “strangers in the world.”

An enhanced human:

On the coffee table rested a sculpture of the fundamental, recombinant DNA of the present transhumans.

In practice, this technological transhumation would wreak havoc on the earth. While modern transhumans are meant to come into being through technology, Augustine offers two models of transhumans made by a divine rather than a human creator -- Adam and Eve in Eden and the resurrected saints in heaven.

A being that transcends humanity; a superhuman being.

I bet every critter that thinks it thinks—even the transhumans—worry about how to do right for themselves and the ones they love.

Imagine a living computer running a simulation where math functions within the simulation think. Then consider an implication of anthrocosmology: if human consciousness created reality and transhumans can simulate any reality they can imagine, that suggest the physical universe has no special status above any other virtual reality.
