Techno-progressivism, '''technoprogressivism''', or '''tech-progressivism''' (a Portmanteau Word combining " Technology -focused" and " Progressivism "), is a stance of active support for the convergence of Technological Development and Social Progress . Strong techno-progressive positions include support for the Consensual Genetic , Prosthetic , and Cognitive Modification Of Human Beings in particular. Techno-progressives argue that technological developments can be profoundly Empowering and Emancipatory when they are regulated by legitimate Democratic and Accountable authorities to ensure that their Cost s, Risk s and Benefit s are all fairly shared by the actual Stakeholder s to those developments. Techno-progressivism maintains that accounts of " Progress " should focus on Scientific and Technical dimensions, as well as Ethical and Social ones. For most techno-progressive perspectives, then, the growth of scientific knowledge or the accumulation of technological powers will not represent the achievement of proper progress unless and until it is accompanied by a just distribution of the costs, risks, and benefits of these new knowledges and capacities. At the same time, for most techno-progressive critics and advocates, the achievement of Better Democracy , greater Fairness , less violence, and a wider Rights Culture are all desirable, but inadequate in themselves to confront the quandaries of contemporary technological societies unless and until they are accompanied by Progress In Science and technology to support and implement these values. Techno-progressivism can be seen as a Third Way between Bioconservatism and Techno-utopianism in the Biopolitical spectrum. LIST OF PROMINENT TECHNO-PROGRESSIVE ADVOCATES AND CULTURAL CRITICS
