Technological progress has not just put forward therapeutic applications but proposes significant enhancements in human beings. And there is an implicit desire for technology to lead us to a kind of quasi-immortality. Transhumanism is the most explicit expression of this trend. This article contrasts Christian hope in God's redemption with the hope offered by transhumanism. The differences are articulated around three axes: the desire for immortality as the driving force of a relentless search; the contrast between a salvation that is conquered and one that is received; and the collective dimension of salvation as opposed to the transhumanist program, which, while aiming to bring its benefits to the entire population, maintains an individual salvation project. This work highlights certain reference points that can guide reflection on the challenges technoscience poses. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Zygon: Journal of Religion & Science is the property of Open Library of Humanities and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
