About the WTA http://transhumanism.org

The World Transhumanist Association is a nonprofit membership
organization which works to promote discussion of the possibilities
for radical improvement of human capacities using genetic, cybernetic
and nano technologies. The WTA was founded in 1998 by Nick Bostrom
Ph.D. and David Pearce. Its first task was organizing an
international group of transhumanists to write The Transhumanist
Declaration and the WTA FAQ.

In 2002 the WTA incorporated as a nonprofit organization and elected
a Board of Directors. The WTA is now growing faster than ever, and we
invite you to join us in this important work. You may also enroll in
one of our discussion lists and join one of our local WTA chapters,
which can be found in countries and languages all over the world.
The WTA speakers bureau can provide someone to answer questions on
the transhumanist perspective to the media or to your group.

Onward!
