The main protagonist of Deus Ex, Adam Jensen is the personification of transhumanism. Adam Jensen is both the dream and nightmare of transhumanism(DE:HR). After a terrorist attack on his workplace, Sarif Industries, by the Tyrants: a mysterious black ops group composed of highly enhanced mercenaries, he was shot in the head and left for dead. Although this meant death, due to advances in biotechnology and a hidden clause in his employment contract, he was revived and severely enhanced. Jensen was later used as a super-powered mercenary by his boss, David Sarif, to further his goals. As the game continues, Jensen is forced to question the limits of empowerment in his society. Jensens most often said phrase "I never asked" is used to represent the different views of transhumanism. Transhumanism is described as a cultural movement that believes that the “human condition should be improved through genetic engineering and neural prosthetics into a new type of human” (Belaunde V., 2009 p.2). In other words, l The use of technology to suppress the mental and physical limitations of humans, such as aging or the loss of a limb. The issue of transhumanism has been debated over the years and is still questioned by many scientists and religious authorities. The answer to the question of whether it is ethically "right or wrong" to prefer using these technologies is more uncertain today than in previous generations. Transhumanism is contrasted with the eugenics movement, the trivialization of human life and the growing gap between many socioeconomic groups Transhuman advocates claim that the current human condition is a work in progress, a functional, but incomplete form that we should seek to improve through… middle of paper……t. When Jensen was experimented on by a corporation as a child to improve the use of augmentations, his genetic code was completely rewritten to hopefully be compatible with the augmentations that had been designed at that point. This unique genetic code would later lead to his perfect synthesis with many of the augmentations he had and he stated that his bond with them would only be stronger. Although this type of genetic manipulation is not considered and is frowned upon today, DE:HR introduces Eugenics as an aspect of transhumanism and its evolution. The game also offers subtle hints at the morals of transhumanism and our quest for better technology. Adams' use of background is to show how far some people would go to make something better. Furthermore, DE:HR prominently alludes to the growing socioeconomic gap that is present not only today but in the future..
