Francis Fukuyama, a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, called transhumanism the "World's Most Dangerous Idea." He is not alone in his deliberate misuse of transhumanist ideas. There are dozens of organizations that use their multi-million dollar coffers to spread anti-transhumanist memes and lobby politicians.
Announcing the World Transhumanist Association's first major fundraising campaign.

The WTA has done a lot with a little. We have grown to 4,700 members worldwide, and transhumanist topics are increasingly part of mainstream debate, yet last year our budget was only $8,000. Now we want to see how much more we can do with more.

The immediate objective is to upgrade our communications to give transhumanist opinions a stronger voice. The generous matching grant by the Life Extension Foundation and Cartmell Holdings means that if we raise $25,000 independently we will secure a total of $50,000 in funding for the WTA, enabling the organization to shift into a higher gear. Please help us take advantage of this opportunity.

Any gift you make to the WTA will be matched dollar-for-dollar until January 31, 2008.
