Humanity+ (World Transhumanist Association)

Humanity+ (formerly the World Transhumanist Association) is the primary international membership organization dedicated to transhumanism, a philosophical and cultural movement that advocates for the use of technology to enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Founded in 1998, the organization has served as a focal point for transhumanist thought and activism, bringing together academics, technologists, philosophers, and enthusiasts to discuss and promote the responsible development of transformative technologies. Humanity+ is best known for authoring and promoting the Transhumanist Declaration, a foundational statement of transhumanist principles that emphasizes human dignity, technological progress, and the right of individuals to self-determination in the use of enhancement technologies. The organization hosts conferences, publishes the Journal of Evolution and Technology, and maintains a global network of chapters and members engaged in advocacy, research, and public dialogue around transhumanism and emerging technologies.
