Reality Check | Ep. 4 | Transhumanism: The Secular Pursuit of Immortality and Its Spiritual Risks

Transhumanism promises a future where technology can overcome the limitations of the human body, offering immortality and enhanced abilities. But what are the spiritual and moral implications of such a pursuit? In this episode of Reality Check, Fr. Michael Baggot LC, a scholar and priest, critically examines the transhumanist agenda through the lens of Christian theology. We discuss the convergence of transhumanism with contemporary movements like transgenderism and the inherent dangers of attempting to transcend our biological nature without regard for the soul. Fr. Baggot draws parallels between the transhumanist dream and the Christian doctrine of Transfiguration, questioning whether transhumanism is merely a secular surrogate for a deeply spiritual longing. This conversation challenges the listener to consider the ethical boundaries of technological advancement and the importance of preserving the integral harmony of the human person.

I'm reminded of the joke, "Can I drop my body off at the gym and pick it up again in a few months?"
