He believes that a person who modifies their body with biotechnology should no longer be considered human, simply because Fukuyama believes that what makes a human being, “Human,” is the fact that we have the ability to process emotions such as love, sadness, fear, anger, envy, gluttony, wrath and happiness.

If we lose that perception or alter it, there is a possibility that we will lose the ability to feel those emotions. Fukuyama then repeats his question “Are trans humans still human?” or they are empty shells of apocalyptics
