Extropianism, also referred to as the philosophy of extropy, is an "evolving framework of values and standards for continuously improving the human condition". Extropians believe that advances in science and technology will some day let people live indefinitely. An extropian may wish to contribute to this goal, e.g. by doing research and development or by volunteering to test new technology. |

'''Religious Transhumanism, or f+ (faith+)''' is a school of thought that seeks to combine religious belief with transhumanist characters. Many different religious believers apply this differently, on the small scale of chasing traditionally religious ideas such as immortality to cults directly implementing transhuman characteristics into their belief, such as Raëlism. |
