Transhumanists view human nature as a work-in-progress, a half-baked beginning that we can learn to remold in desirable ways. Current humanity need not be the endpoint of evolution.

Les critiques du transhumanisme se répartissent principalement en deux catégories : l'infaisabilité(les critiques pragmatiques) et l'immoralité(les critiques éthiques). Les arguments de la première catégorie sont souvent réfutés par les transhumanistes en disant que nous utilisons déjà, tous les jours, les technologies pour améliorer notre vie : pilule contraceptive, pacemaker, prothèses auditives, lifting, Google Glass et téléphone portable ne sont que quelques exemples. 1, record 4, French, - transhumaniste

Una ritidectomía es un procedimiento en el cual la piel de la cara es tensionada para darle al rostro del paciente una apariencia más juvenil. Debido al envejecimiento y la gravedad, la piel de la cara de una persona tiende a colgarse y a sentirse flácida.

Il est difficile de trouver des critères parfaits pour différencier les crics et les vérins. En effet la plupart des crics ont une crémaillère et une manivelle, la plupart des vérins ont une vis, un écrou et un levier. Cependant on trouve des crics à vis comme les crics de voitures. [...] Nous constatons aussi d’une part que la charge maximale admissible pour un cric de dépasse pas 20 tonnes, alors que celle des vérins va jusqu’à 300 tonnes, et d’autre part que les crics servent surtout à faire mouvoir une charge, tandis que les vérins servent plutôt à la caler. [...] Les vérins ont un usage beaucoup plus spécialisé que les crics et sont souvent construits spécialement en fonction de leur destination [...] 3, record 6, French, - outil%20de%20levage%20agissant%20par%20pouss%C3%A9e
