I'll have a go.

What is transhumanism?
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism>

The Principles of Extropy
<http://www.extropy.org/principles.htm>

Transhumanist Declaration
Transhumanist Values
Transhumanist FAQ
<http://humanityplus.org/learn/philosophy>

If you want books to read, then try these:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Transhumanist_books>

And, of course, the most excellent 'The Spike' by Damien Broderick.


Best wishes, BillK
