24 Transhumanists maintain that the current phase of humanity is transitional, hence trans-human. The trajectory of human technological self-evolution is towards being post-human. Cf., C. Ben Mitchell, Edmund Pellegrino, Jean Bethke Elshtain, et al., Biotechnology and the Human Good (Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2007) and Brent Waters, “Whose Salvation? Which Eschatology? Transhumanism and Christianity as Contending Salvific Religions” in Ronald Cole-Turner (ed), Transhumanism and Transcendence: Christian Hope in an Age of Technological Enhancement (Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2011).
