Transhumanism a religion?

Transhumanism is a new ''philosophical'' movement, It advocates fot the betterment of the human race using science, such breaktrough like defeating old age and even death are goals of this way of tought and are said to be achivable in a matter of years. The improvement of cognitive functions and an idealistic aspirations of humanity.

This could turn us into super-humans! Imagine a world without aging, without death,sickness or mental disabilitys, this would most certainly negate the need for religion.

The question is not wether or not this would be achivable, but my question is : is this what humanity wants? As we use glasses to better ourselves and correct visions,and use pills to counter depression and other flaws, isnt aging considered as a major flaw?

This movement has many Doctorate level advocates such as Aubrey Degrey ect, would this be proper for the human race? wouldnt defeating death be a great victory for humanity? I await your oppinions about this.
