Post humanism is the post-human a new departure, or is it merely creative rebranding? Recent years have witnessed a much debate on post-humanism as a subject in various areas of social sciences. This debate has also become a basis for question that whether the post-human is a new departure or it is merely a creative rebranding. Post-humanism has become a subject in discussions in medicine as the scope of technological and genetic exploitation and bodily development. Nevertheless, it has had small consideration in the debate of adult education and lifelong learning.

Transhumanism, by contrast, supports not so much a change in how we think of ourselves, but rather a vision of how we might use technology and other means to change what we are - not to replace ourselves with something else, but to realize our potential to become something more than we currently are. Just as a child grows up and develops the abilities of an adult, new technological options might one day allow adults to continue to develop and to mature into beings with post human abilities.
The human species is still young on this planet, and it is possible that we have as yet seen little of what is possible for us to become. But success in this world is far from assured, because we still have only our limited human wisdom and kindness to guide us through the
