We, the pioneers of human enhancement, in order to unlock the full potential of human ability, promote fairness and opportunity, protect the right of individuals to become extraordinary, extend healthy human lifespans, and secure the benefits of science, innovation, and freedom for ourselves and future generations, do now solemnly proclaim this First Declaration for Human Enhancement.

We recognise that humanity will find its fullest expression not through restriction but through expansion — of competition, science, medicine, and spirit. To seek new heights is not merely a right but a duty to ourselves and the future of human progress.

Furthermore, we declare that athletic excellence is the exemplar of the human spirit, and athletes have the innate right to elevate their physical and mental capacities. Excellence can not be confined by arbitrary boundaries, and true greatness flourishes in the freedom to explore, enhance, and evolve beyond what once was.
