    2. When do transhumanists alter their bodies and minds so extensively that they’re no longer human? Is it when all biological tissue is replaced with artificial parts? Is the ultimate goal of transhumanism to become something far superior to any human who has ever lived throughout human history?
    3. Why don’t we yet have public debates about transhumanism on a scale like „new atheism“?

    1. Ohio lawmakers introduced House Bill 469 to ban artificial intelligence from marrying humans or gaining legal personhood. The proposal defines AI as “non-sentient entities,” preventing systems from owning property, running businesses, or holding human rights.
    2. If AI becomes conscious in the future, do we have the right to shut it down? Could future laws treat this as a criminal act, and should it be punishable? Do you think such laws or similar protections for AI might appear?
