(BBC) – As technology advances, a group of people known as transhumanists are increasingly seeking ways to enable us to live on in new forms.

It’s not – we’ll look back and think of dying as something as barbaric as slavery,” Dr Ben Goertzel explains. He is one of the leading figures in transhumanism – a movement that believes in using technology to improve our intellectual, physical and psychological capacities.
