Techno-progressivism, technoprogressivism, or tech-progressivism, is a stance of active support for technological development. Strong technoprogressive positions include support for human practices of genetic, cybernetic, and cognitive modification in particular. Techno-progressives believe that technological developments can be profoundly empowering and emancipatory when they are regulated by legitimate democratic and accountable authorities to ensure that their costs, risks and benefits are all fairly shared by the actual stakeholders to those developments.
Democratic transhumanism is a form of anticipatory techno-progressivism.
Bioconservatism is the stance that contrasts with techno-progressivism.
