Given human past tendancies to exterminate those who have some
difference in outward appearance it would be best if a poshuman would
be like a camelion.... keep a relatively human appearance while in the
company of the old-style humans and transhumans in public and adopt a
more unique appearance in private. <br>
<br>
Alternatively generate a hologram to customize outward appearances to
the percieved comfort level of the observer. Essentially clothes could
be replaced by a hologram to mask more functional body function and
body maintence suits.<br>

<pre wrap="">That depends on what do you mean by posthumanism, if you were talking about
what most people would choose to look like, in, say 500 years, then probably
yes, there would be a difference between the human body and the post human.
But the definition of posthuman is simply a matter of enhanced human, and it
is possible to enhance yourself keeping your external appearence. As most
tranhumanist would agree, each person should have his right to not change his
appearence, if so he wishes.
