U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party General Discussion Thread for the Fourth Quarter of 2019
The purpose of this post is to facilitate member comments pertaining to transhumanism and the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party (USTP), which might not specifically fit the subjects of any other post or article on the USTP website. This is the place for members to offer suggestions or converse about any areas of emerging technologies and their political, moral, societal, cultural, and esthetic implications. The general discussion thread is also an ideal location to suggest or propose platform planks that may be considered for future platform voting, and/or bring our attention to emerging legislative and societal developments that may affect the course and impact of emerging technologies.
The USTP will endeavor to open one of these general comment threads per quarter. This comment thread pertains to the months of October, November, and December 2019.
Type in your comments below. Please note that, to protect against spambots, the first comment by any individual will be moderated. After passing moderation, a civil commenter should be able to post comments without future moderation – although we cannot guarantee that the technical aspect of this functionality will work as intended 100% of the time.

The USTP should have an annual membership renewal requirement. The free and easy application form results in a number of inactive members. An annual renewal will give us a more accurate view of the actual growth over time of the USTP.
The USTP should vote to endorse The Campaign To Stop Killer Robots. This NGO works in support of one of our main goals: Superlongevity. After all, we can’t live for centuries if we get mowed down by an Army of Killer Robots. Here is the key verbiage on existential risk:
Ideal 3. The Transhumanist Party supports efforts to use science, technology, and rational discourse to reduce and eliminate various existential risks to the human species.
