| Article title | List of Former Humans |
The "List of Former Humans" is a catalog of individuals who, through various scientific, technological, or metaphysical means, have undergone transformations that have fundamentally altered their human nature and capabilities. These former humans exist in a state of being that transcends traditional biological, cognitive, and existential definitions of what it means to be "human."
A significant portion of the list consists of people who have become "transhuman" or "posthuman" through the integration of advanced technology with their bodies and minds. This includes those who have cybernetic implants, genetic modifications, neural-digital interfaces, and other enhancements that dramatically expand their physical and cognitive abilities beyond the norm.
Some notable examples include:
Another category on the list are those individuals who have had their minds or consciousness uploaded into digital form, effectively transforming them into virtual or AI-based lifeforms. These "Former Humans" no longer have a physical body and exist as software-based intelligences.
Examples include:
Finally, the list includes those rare individuals who have achieved a state of being that transcends the typical boundaries of human existence, whether through advanced technology, spiritual enlightenment, or other means. These "Former Humans" may no longer be recognizable as such and exist in a realm beyond ordinary physical or cognitive constraints.
A few examples in this category are:
As the boundaries between human, transhuman, and posthuman continue to evolve, this list serves as a record of those pioneering individuals who have crossed over into new realms of existence. Their stories raise profound questions about the nature of humanity, consciousness, and our place in the universe.
