Transhumanist Elements[править]

Futurama was fairly heavy on the deathism

Cryopreservation is the key plot point behind the story, but the series also features many other transhumanist elements such as; genetic engineering, body modifications and various others. The transhumanist elements in Futurama are often treated either positively or negatively, and quite often a combination of both.

A PBS short looks at the non-transhumanist perspective of Futurama and its portrayal of the ever presence of suffering,[1] to which David Pearce agrees Futurama is "futurist not transhumanist"[2]
