Редактирование: Criticism of transhumanism (раздел)

== The view that transhumanists have an unhealthy dislike of the physical ==

Some critics assert that transhumanists place too much emphasis on escaping from physical embodiment. By looking forward to uploading their minds into computer systems, transhumanists display (it is said) an unhealthy dislike of the physical.

That may a fair assessment of a number of individual transhumanists. However, there is nothing in transhumanism itself that leads anyone to wish to escape their human body:

* Transhumanism is consistent with seeking improvements and augmentation to human bodies (and brains)
* Transhumanism is consistent with bodily variation, such as acquiring new organs, new appendages, or new sensory capabilities
* Many transhumanists evidently put a high priority on their physical fitness and bodily health.

This criticism, therefore, fails to apply to transhumanism as a whole.
