The Transhumanist Law Network seeks to build an international network of transhumanist attorneys,
judges, law scholars and law students to promote the goals of the Transhumanist Declaration.
In particular we seek to promote discussion of the law as it relates to emerging technologies, and
defend the rights of individuals in free and democratic societies to use
technologies that expand human capacities. We are working to expand and deepen the understanding of human rights to focus
on the rights all sentient persons.
Towards these goals we
have established the WTA-law list and WTA-law blog for discussion of transhumanist law topics
are building a syllabus on transhumanist law and a collection of relevant case law and treaties from around the world
begun our "Self-Determination and Human Rights" program to deepen and extend the global movement for human rights to include rights to "technological self-determination"
