Technologies, such as genetic modifications, neural enhancements, or anti-aging therapies, are likely to be expensive, at least initially. This raises the question: if only the wealthy can afford these enhancements, does it create a society where the rich can buy better health, longevity, and even intelligence, widening the gap between the rich and the poor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fhealth-equity-in-the-ai-and-digital-health-era-promise-or-peril\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">are already struggling\u003C\u002Fa> with \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fthe-widening-gap-in-access-to-healthcare-between-rich-and-poor-can-only-be-bridged-with-digital-health-solutions-if-they-are-used-wisely\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">this dilemma\u003C\u002Fa> in digital health, with wearables and personalised medicine, but how extreme can it become? There&#8217;s a concern that transhumanism could lead to a new class divide – between those who are enhanced and those who are not. This could manifest not just in terms of health and lifespan, but also in areas like employment, where enhanced individuals might have unfair advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As with other health-inequity issues, one of the core debates in transhumanism is whether its benefits will trickle down to the wider society or remain exclusive to those who can afford them.&nbsp; To address these concerns, there is a growing discussion among ethicists, policymakers, and transhumanists themselves about how to ensure equitable access to these technologies. This includes considering regulations, subsidies, and ethical guidelines to prevent the deepening of social inequalities.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2021\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_243-01-768x432.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32629\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2021\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_243-01-768x432.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2021\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_243-01-370x208.png 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2021\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_243-01-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2021\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_243-01.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Evidence-based implementation\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Diving into the realm of transhumanism and its profound implications for the future of healthcare can be fascinating.
