abstract = "Ideas about identity vary from culture to culture. What is the human self? Who is the self? Does the self consist of memories? Does the self attach to a body? Is the body to be identified with the self? Is there an aspect of the human that transcends the body? Is the human identical with the mind? As we consider the topic of the transhuman from the perspective of the Jaina religious faith, these questions become central. If there is something to the human that can be altered or extended, what would be its composition? Before we examine the central tenets of Jainism and relate them to the question of the transhuman, an anecdote will be shared to set the stage for this discussion.",
