"Resurrection" has been taken for 2000 years, but for a few decades there we had a chance with "pro-life." :(
Quick! Grab the third best word and trademark it!
Seriously though, I think "transhumanism" is too long and jargon-y, not to mention understanding it requires some knowledge of both humanism and Latin roots. The ideology deserves a word that is as pure and simple as the emotions behind it.
I've been using "lifeist" in my head for a while.
Another good word that's already taken: survivalist.
I've heard "deathist" used to describe the opposing side more often than "lifeist" for the supporting side. "Lifeist" just sounds a bit awkward and silly, and "deathist", while funny, seems too much like typical Dark Arts tarring.
