About
David Pearce is a co-founder of Humanity+, and a father of the abolitionist school of transhumanism.
In 1995, he wrote a manifesto, The Hedonistic Imperative, which advocates the use of biotechnology to abolish suffering throughout the living world in favour of life based on gradients of superhuman bliss (“paradise engineering”).
A vegan, Pearce argues that humans have a responsibility not merely to end industrialised animal abuse, but also to redesign the global ecosystem so that non-human animals do not suffer in the wild.
