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