RE: NOVELTY. DOES IT REALLY "EXIST"?

A kind of. But we will always be human, whether we accept it or not, the aim to make the human less human seems destined to fail when we understand that we are not only human in body but also in mind. We think and feel inexorably like humans. It's like changing the appearance of something even though deep down it remains the same. I don't know if it is possible for humans to be able to change their human nature, leaving aside the question of whether that would be a good or bad thing.

The "human experience" would seem to include quite a broad scope.

Oh yeah, I agree. It is quite a broad scope. Each human experience is different from the others, some more similar, but they all differ, to the point that I wonder what the essence of the human being is, all being a group with many apparent differences, what is it that we all have that makes us human? That is something that needs to be answered when addressing the issue of transhumanism.

Transhumanism could conceivably allow us to "step into" the "mind-space" of others with experiences wholly unfamiliar to us.

I would not deny that. Although I would see it more as an experiment than a way of life.
